Isn't it nice when you can start taking parts out of the pile and finally put them where they belong?

 

[vdk2010]

It feels soo good!

But I have to tame myself not to install too many parts already since she is going back for paint again and I don't want to risk overspray on shiny parts..

At this rate the car will be complete in 2 weeks

Is the weight of all that paint going to slow the car so much you will have to put a Hemi in it?

I wish. I even tried! But prices for hemis are crazy these days

BUT. Speaking of paint, we painted the areas where the rotisserie and the roll carriage were attached to the body today.

The Front...

... and in the rear.

 

[vdk2010]

50% of the wheels are finally on the car. Rear Axle is done (for now)!

I don't get it.......I thought you were going to run this car in a demolition derby. Not only that but shipping the car to Arkansas to compete in the derby. So why spend all this time and money on this?

Am I wrong here? I've only been wrong twice.

Say it isn't so!

No, no, you're right. It's still the plan. I'm interested in the task of rebuilding the car, not owning or driving it!

That I believe.

 

[vdk2010]

Aaaand she is on her own feet!

A terrific accomplishment! Mighty fine!

Is there a nut or bolt left not turned??
Excellent work!.
Yeah the feeling of putting on the parts that you have been staring at is very rewarding.

 

[JJ300]

Stunning, just stunning!
