    Or rather the beginning. Today is the last day before my tags expire and I start tearing the old mav apart for what I have deemed "The Resurection" Gonna go beat the hell outta of it part of the day. I am looking at 2 years to get it done.
    I gots lotsa good ideas and promise my car will finally be worthy to attend the roundup. :cool:

    In the beginning God said, "Let there be light. And when it turns green, light 'em up." Have fun.

    A goal of a finish time is a good thing. One thing about having them down is the real desire to drive it again which = working on it more which = driving it again.

    Dont put yourself on a schedule. Just do it right and it will be done when its done. Or a reasonable facsimile of being done because they seldom ever are.

    I will. I also promise to have a detailed rack and pinion install that is a much cheaper alternative. I found a rack that fits perfect. I won't tell anybody yet what I got it from but you will never guess. I am gonna take some styling cues from a dodge challenger t/a car thats for sure. I also see a tremec 5 speed......past that only time will tell.......

    Good luck. I am starting on my daughter's 74 in a couple weeks as soon as I finish the cabinets I'm building and get them installed.
    Her's is gonna be more of a crash course in making one look OK with a home-style paint job and get it running and driving before her 16th in December.
