Great job on the Cutty. Its really coming along great. Are you going to put the AC unit back on the car. Take a Video of the start up of your motor, would be great to see. Thats great you got a 8.5 for $650, cant find them up here for that.

Thats a great price for that rear. Hopefully you get some better weather this weekend. Havent had that much time lately, did the front clip removed and motor pulled. Hoping to strip down the front suspension this weekend if i dont have to work.
