thanks for all the words of encouragement guys, its starting to come along pretty good now. unfortuneatly, this is the expensive part, paint & body, full, custom interior, tires & wheels, and complete exaust. she should be done by late spring though.

looks good, keep the pics coming, i shelled out for seats and carpet too, i feel your pain.
what is seen here in the pics was $2600. that includes, most of the seat springs redone, all new foam, and padding. he is installing my headliner and sail panels. my interior was torquis and we changed everything to black. still another $1000. in parts from dale @ NOS, to finish the interior. (carpet, headliner, package tray, sunvisors, armrests and bases) bought a perfect black dash last year out of colorado

i paid some for mine but kept it simple cause the kids have to step on the seats to get over the rollbar and into the back and one is in a baby seat and the other a booster. i'd post a pic but new camera broke. my dash is all steel, armrests hit rollbar, and door panels i made out of alluminum.
Looks great Colin. Can hardly wait to see more progress! You are making a work of art. It's one thing to restore a car but it takes a real car builder to have a vivid imagination to customize a car in a tasteful way like you are. Good job!
Looking good, you plan on driving it this summer ?
it should be ready for late spring, i,ll hold off the complete air bag suspension till next winter, gonna build her a "502" at the same time. i,m gonna drive her every sunny day all summer!
