thanks Mark.

Yeah it will shine a lot better once its wet sanded and wheeled out.
I cant wait.

I was going to start to clean it, but yesterday we swapped motors in my Nephews 1972 formula. Yeah we pulled out the 455 (spun bearing)
And put in a professionally built 400 pushing 475 at the crank.

Mark seen us working away! We got the old motor pulled, new one installed, and got it running!
Exhaust hooked up and everything. Damn that motor sounds good!

But back to my car LOL!!
I'm going to start cleaning and putting things back together.
My door poppers and strikers need to be put back in, all my weather strip ect.
We will see how far I get this weekend.

Good luck Todd sounds like some amazing progress! Looking forward to meeting you and your car at the end of the month! Heck with the work I see your brother in law does maybe I will save up some cash and have him do my car!

Thanks! Yeah I honestly cant wait for the meet and greet. I didn't have my car last year. I know I brought my Brother in laws old car, but it was not the same.

Car painted:








Car all Wet sanded!











It should be all wheeled out tomorrow.
We painted the black metal trim around the rear hatch.

So after its all buffed out, then I can start to put it all back together.
I know its cutting things close, we still have a lot to do. But I feel it will be all done in time for the MiFbody Meet and Greet!
