    Thanks for the positve comments Everyone.

    I HATE HATE HATE reproduction parts!!!
    Window felts... My originals were straight, but dull and wore out. The reproductions were shiny, bowed up, and they have the holes in all the wrong places.

    Today I install the radiator which was should be easy right? I needed to cut both sides of the lower radiator hose so it would fit OK.

              Looking G@@D Brian !

              I noticed that you painted the grille black. Are you planing to add the SS emblems to the outside?

              As far as wheel selection, theres so many different styles to choose from. I think Coy makes some nice looking wheels.

                Thanks for the suggestion Brian. I am having trouble deciding if I want a polished/chrome wheel, or polished/ grey. Lately I like multispoked wheels but some of the wheels I am considering are the Coy C67s(http://www.coyswheel.com/coys-c67.html) and AR TT II Classics(http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AR...5/?image=large).

                It doesn't look like I have done much but I have spent many hours finalizing bumper fitment, hooking up trans lines, started reassembling doors, routing heater hoses, and installing a few head lights.
                In the next couple weeks I hope to rebuild my carburator and get this thing fired up before the end of the year.

                      After seeing it in person, I think the gray rims TT II will work well.

                      Though, those C67s look nice, especially in gunmetal.

                          Well I had a few set backs recently like discovering a dented oil pan!
                          After that was fixed I was able to tie up a bunch of loose ends like adjusting the gap on the tail panel, hooking up the E Brake, installing tail lights and valve covers. I also had the rear glass installed. This evening I cleaned my guage cluster and I hope to have my dash in the car by the end of the week.
                          I hope to get it fired up by the end of the Jan as all I need a pump to carb line and to rebuild my carb.
                          Again I am debating black stripes. Opnions? aka talk me out of it.
                          I am gonna wait to pick wheels until spring so I can easily figure out what size I can make work up front.

                          A few more pictures.

                            Leave it solid, Brian. It's a gorgeous color, and I think the stripes might be too much (I think we talked about that when I picked the exhaust up from ya).

                            And I just noticed you moved the car from the corner of the shop.
