Getting close, that would be a major step.  Nice work.
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

got my carpet, pedals and shifter in. I'm getting there.

Hey yellowbeard...Somehow I missed your video that you posted awhile back but I just finished watching it...Very Cool.Tom mentioned your shift knob and I see you have a signal light lever knob to match...Nice touch. Keep those pic's coming.

thanks guys, hoping to pull it out of the garage in a couple of weeks. Just trying to finish one or two things every weekend. Seems like the little things take the longest.

Were you driving it there open headers?  The neighbors might hate you but I bet you had a smile from ear to ear!

Colder than a mother-in-law's kiss for the last week or two, very unseasonable. Even with the heater it just makes it tolerable. I can't get any real work done, I'm just trying to straighten and clean up.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Tell me about it....I spent about 4 hrs in the garage Sunday working on my Daughters boyfriends car and I nearly froze to death even with the heater on. Can't even go to Florida to escape the cold. They're even supposed to get some snow in the next few days. Best to sit by the fire and dream of spring. ;D
