Thanks, I know you have the same sickness! I know these cars are a labor of love for all of us but I do believe they will be the Tri-Five Chevy of the future, hence the stupid amount of work I keep doing for what's considered a throw-away car with questionable handling and mediocre stock build quality to begin with.

And the next round of sandpaper, filler, and new hinges have been ordered along with a play date set with my bodyman for next Sunday. Plans are to bodywork the firewall, prime the remaining trunk lid, and set body back on the frame. Then I can get the doors back on to start lining it all up for mud.

Of course I've had interest from one guy buying it but he was in Houston so I think the hurricane put a crimp in his plans.

Awesome!
Looking forward to seeing the progress. Be sure to keep posting up the pics as you go along for us to see.
Maybe, just maybe, it'll convince you to hang onto it once it's done!

Bolted down and back on the ground. That position #3 is a massive pain in the *ss.

Back at it, doors mounted with new upper hinges, couldn't resist throwing the fenders on.
