I have those kick panels too Steve. I worked out a deal with him last year and traded one of my crappy old door panels for a small discount and the first set off the mold. I was more than impressed.

Just posted up some stuff for sale in the Classified section. Maybe some people can get some needed parts out of my extra parts.

Next thing I need to do is pull the Interior back out and put it away for storage. Sell my restored kick panels. Then I need to weld up the openings on the firewall and start on some bodywork/small patch panels. I really need to get my own mig welder too.

I've got to pull my coils out in the front and swap out the original engine mounts for solids, rebuild my transmission and get the engine in the car. I've honestly got a long way to go. Hopefully I'm done traveling for work for a while. I know a layoff is imminent, so I should be able to get some major work done on it while I'm off.

I'll probably get next week in, after that, there is no more work, probably until spring. I'm going to try to find another job though, or do some tech contracting work or something. But, not traveling and having some time off I should be able to get alot of stuff done to the car. My garage is heated so winter is not an issue for me. I've got alot of the parts to get the car together, so money really should not be an issue with progress. It will be an issue at home though if I don't work. No way I'm making it on unemployment.
