Well it's a matter of all that basically left to wire up is the ac/heat unit and to put in the dash bezel. Then I can finally start putting in the interior.

 

it took me about 4 days to read it all, but i just want to say nicely done.

 

Thanks. Life has been busy lately and no time to work on her. Last weekend we had a baby shower for my soon to be here grandson and Im flying to Boston tomorrow for a conference. Maybe if Im lucky the Squid will work on her while Im gone.

 

Looking great. Makes me wish I had more time to spend on mine.

 

spent half the day following your build makes me want to go out and do some more work on mine..

good job

btw do you have any pics of the trim that you painted black? while its on the car?

thanks

 

youre still moving along nicely O... I cant wait to go for a ride!!!

 

Wow I finally get to update my project thread. So over the last few months not much has been happening except for the buying of parts. Which is all part of it but not very exciting when the parts come in the mail and there's no time to put them on the car.

One of those parts was the little push nuts for the side markers and now those are on.




About a month ago I bought the Squid a new welder cause we got to a point where one is needed for several projects. One being my trunk lock. We are making the car door locks pop open with my remote and wanted to make the trunk lock work the same way but also be able to use a key to open it as well. This required opening the lock up and welding the wire of the popper to it.



This worked great.

Then when we put the lock back together and mounted it in place it wouldn't pop it open. With the wire in an arced position it just didnt work. So we had to shorted the wire so that it was in a straight line and it worked great.

So now its mounted and the squid mounted all the ground wires to the rearend.



Today while I was at work he worked on getting all the wiring complete and checking to make sure things are working. So for mother's day I came home to my rear end lights and my turn signals all working. He also did allot of misc little bits of wiring that I did not take pics of. Thank you squidly.

that car is looking good, looks like it has come a long way. i am just now getting into the sheet metal/body work on mine. hopefully it will start moving along once the parts that were just ordered arrive

 

I really have to ask..What did all that body work and parts cost in the end? Would it have been cheaper to buy a newly production body?

 

This looks like a fun project, hope to soon get into one myself.
