So after the door panels....when do we get to see you start putting the car back together again? You have a huge stock pile of parts now. It would be driving me nuts not to start installing the new goodies.
Amen to that!
I still have to repair and paint the instrument cluster, that'll take a week in itself. Several small pieces to do as well, plus the window trim and mirrors. Then i have to get the rest of the bodyside mouldings.
Then i have to get the driver's door.
Then i finally get the car. Even when i get it though, i'll have to replace at least the driver's floor pan, strip the quarters and roof and jambs and rocker and get those in primer. Then i'll build the interior, paint the jambs, cowel panel and front part of the roof. Then all of those seals. Clean up the engine bay and get the engine running, i'm a little worried that i might have to replace some of the wiring harness's because of the freaking rat colony that made the engine bay home.
I've already contacted Ron Francis about premade wiring harness's. I'm getting a catalog and we'll see what happens there.
So, it won't be a driver tomorrow
.
Believe me, I want to drive this car. I just allowed myself to get nuts on the build though. I want to do what i'm doing as right as i can.
So, maybe a spring/summer driver? I've started letting my hair grow so i can have a mullet for the first drive.
