    Just a little update: Negatives
    I went home last weekend and my dad had opened the barn up sometime the week before. Well, the tarp you see in a couple of my pics was hanging freely and blowing in the wind, which was rubbing on my car. So now most of the drivers sides needs to be buffed out . Its not deep though, so when I am ready, I will hit it with some swirl remover on a soft pad.

    Positives
    The above situation made my dad and I realize that the car's current state will not be preserved if it stays in the barn. Sooooo, we are going to build a 20'x20' garage just off the back of the barn for me to put it in
    I have a deal arranged with a member to trade the T56 for some wheels
    I worked a little more on the marker lamps today. The fronts came out great, so I decided to wet-sand the rears down with some 2500grit, and I think the pictures will speak for themselves:

              Not for a little while yet, need to build this garage, get some stuff sold, save up some money, then I would be in the market.

                So I got the wheels today (Thanks again Matt!)

                Here is what the living room looked like when I first got home:

                Here is what it looks like now


                And, to avoid having to re-seal the wheels, I am taking each bolt out, one by one, and cleaning around them. This may take a while

                      Got them both out and cleaned up last weekend.

                      Also got my marker lights back in.


                      And got the pedal bracket finished up. Now to just find some gas pedal pivot bushings that my dad accidentally threw away.
