pffft, nothing that a long weekend won't sort out.........   


Actually, making a list of jobs is where I usually start as well.  It's all too easy to head off into a car and then get that "lost" feeling when you're surrounded by broken bits. A spreadsheet list really does help me to keep a focus on doing one thing at a time.

Updating the progress of the car (i can call it a car again)

Its been  long winter.  Frame and body separated in November. Full restoration of the engine and chassis.  Clutch new light weight fly wheel, all new shift joints, all new mounts and SS bolts/nuts through out.  new suspension shocks springs rubber and what not.  new exhaust(not sure i like it)  new windshield (not installed yet) new dash, new steering rack and bits, new pedal box, new brake lines, new carpets (not installed yet)  you get the idea.

Last week the shop placed the body back on.
