    Well I think I now have enugh parts to start the resurection of the 69 1/2. I decided that I was going to change up a little this build. I have always in the past done the drive train before the body and interior. This time I am going to do the body and interior first. After all if I run out of money I can always drop the 200 back in it and drive it for a while.
    OK here is a list of what I have to start.

    1. Assorted POR-15 products
    2. 8 pt roll cage (S&W Race Cars)
    3. 67 Cougar tail lights w/bezels, solid state sequential flasher unit and wireing harness. (West Coast Classic Cougars)
    4. Deluxe Gas cap (Hotrod-Daddy)
    5. Fiberglass Grabber rear Spoiler (Maverick Man)
    6. Rear spring pack set off a 1/2 ton Dodge truck (Salvage Yard)

    Things I still need

    1. Front eyebrow spoiler
    2. Hood scoop (have not decided yet)

    I am going to take it to the drag strip on the 2nd of Sep to get a base time and speed for the before time slip.
    Then I will start the tear down and install of all the parts that I have. I have a great digi Camera that I will document all the work done with. I will post pictures and all steps that I perform so I can post in the FAQ section.
    I will most likely be asking a few question along the way but for the most part I have all the info I need for now but as always there will probably be something that I have problems with.
    I hope all the info that I put up as I build the car will be helpful to all or some on the forum.
    Wish me luck
    Don

    I will post as I get each project done. That way it is still fresh in my mind. You know how us old guys are, we all have CRS.

    Thanks for the support.
