Your project is looking great!

Be careful with the heat gun. They work great. Sometimes to great.

Yeah, I was thinking that. I have so many hours into the headliner, I may keep the heat gun in the drawer and steal the wife's blowdryer.

Hi Hectore-

I would like to go to Norwalk this year. I need to reserve the dates.

Any pics of how your ride is coming along?

The actual car is still "rat rod like" LOL! Working on the drivetrain and electrical systems and so on. Finished the 428 with Jeff's expert help though. I am working mad overtime to get the car mechanically done in the spring/summer time frame.

With the real expense...... body work! Coming over the next winter period.

Thanks and ME TOO!!

Headliner just about done (just need to install the rear tack strips), dome light in, windlace and sail panels installed:



Kick panels in (these were a beyotch!):





Next I want to get the dash/electrical buttoned-up then get the quarter window glass in so I can get the quarter area panel covers on.
