    Well I need a few more small things and this baby should be ready to rumble, well lets hope so I did do most of the work:rolleyes:

    I would think it would be safe to say I will have it running this weekend but then it will be awhile before I can get the exhaust done :cry: So I will have to wait to take it for a test drive.

    Here are a couple of pics I have done a few things since but not much

    You and me both Tom........Thanks I am very pleased with the way that the green turn out with all the black parts I think it really sets things off. I know the guy that did all the putting together so if it don't it will be all his fault............Doh" that would be me.

    Looks great! I don't see why you can't take it for a LITTLE test drive without the exhaust though ;)

    If it wasn't for my neighbor I probably would, he called in on me one night because of my motor cycle.........I guess we all get old and bitter at some point :D

    several plastic and tin
    green

    and the upper shock supports.don't forget those two supports that go to top of shock towers, paint them green and put them on. You don't want to twist your car and ruin that mint black paint job.

    Any more "bright" ideas. :cool:

    Looks cool. I painted my 351C engine Porsche Raspberry (same color as car) with polished aluminum Motorsport dress up in '88, I've always loved that look. Takes the engine bay to another level.

    Good luck on your project.

    All you need to do is find some of that green washer solvent. I have seen it around back home... maybe Auto Zone?
