Default Update on my project!

I know I've been asking some really silly questions here lately.. But all of the sound advice is paying off! Since getting the paint finished a month or so ago, I have been steadliy putting her back together.....This past weekend we installed the motor and Monday I trailered her over for a new exhaust...this weekend will be spent in the garage...getting her closer to being on the road!

Thanks! I've been working on it for 15 months...My son and i are doing it together. I've never done any autobody work before, but being a welder by trade has really helped! Here are some pics of when we bought it, then tearing into it replacing the floors/firewall/lower cowl/cowl sides/dash/quarters/tailight panel/radiator support....seems the list goes on! Check out these pics...
