Threw the seat in to measure for new hole in trans tunnel. I am loving the seat colors. Matches perfectly. Including the seatbelts.

With a little help from Doug and Tom we got doors aligned good and fenders hung. Fenders are not playing nice yet.

Looks great.

Hood is getting real close. Front clip is getting........... well it's going.

Making serious progress with the fenders gaps and grill support.

Changed gears so i can get motivated again. it may have to come back apart again, but it might not. Tank finally quit fighting me. Seat quit fighting me. Carpet quit fighting me. Got the OE shifter to the new 5 speed. Still needs some tweaking to make it comfortable, but the important part is that it is attached.

Progress is progress. Small steps some days.

Have gotten a few things done over the last few weeks. I thought I would be laying color down by now, but wives and kids ruin everything.

1. Front clip bodywork is aligned, scuffed, hanging and ready for primer.
2. Hood is flat. Have a few pin holes to swipe and then last prime.
3. Doors are gapped. Shipping damage is almost repaired. I am going to work the bottom of the pass side door to close a gap this weekend I hope. Then they are off to primer.
4. Interior pieces are hanging and ready for prime and paint.
5. Kick vents finally came out of the soup and are ready for a quick scuff to remove the flash and get primed.

Been tryign to get tings done, but it is going so slow.

Driveshaft finally got here and is in.
A combination of custom Brake lines and pre bent lines have completed the system.
Final prime was done on a bunch of small parts.
Started undercoating prior to paint.

Probably a few more things completed, but 6982 to go.

6982! Very good task organizing skills! 😎 Looking good, Ferris.
