I got down to the shop Wednesday about 3pm and worked till 2am and made some GREAT progress. A-Arms are all pretty and rebuilt, the motor is together (I did find some grease pen under the paint that indicates it has been punched .040) and the front part of the frame is cleaned and painted. The front suspension should go back together quickly then I might have the firewall repainted before I put the rest back together. I think I have most of the parts I need thanks to Biscay's so now it is time to putting the pieces of the puzzle back together

We had a break in the weather today so a buddy painted the firewall. Now I can really start putting the thing back together!

Nice to see that firewall in body color. I've seen too many Canadian cars get a black firewall. Your car is looking great!

I finally took a close look at some of the wiring, and for sure need to replace the engine bay harness. Can someone tell me if that is Chevelle or GTO?

It should be Chevelle for all the under hood wiring.

Someone who has a shop manual will know 100% for sure but I am about 98% sure about it.

Alright! I was able to drive this beauty around the block for the first time. Now I can enjoy while tending to the list of smaller items.
