Progress at last

yeah the motion front end is history.. 

it was fairly unique..  but it had been wrecked and didnt fit quite right..

also the passenger light was rigged up badly..

so back to original it is..

btw..  im just waiting on a windshield frame and fender skirts to put the front end on for good..

they should arrive this week

[QUOTE=Aegisfang]Gee, Ben, selling your business? what are you going to do now for a job?,  Christine is coming along good with all the work you described for sure. Hope your life can slow down some and hope your insurance took care of the flood![/QUOTE]

im going to do the same consulting i do now..  but just not run it through a loosely related business..  means more money..  and the cash from selling the business..  its been 9.5 years and im sick of it..

insurance did take care of the flood..  pretty much had to gut the first floor..  and of 8000 comic books downstairs only about 25 were damaged...

only one of extreme value..  amazing spider-man #2 (about 4K$) but they replaced it as well

[QUOTE=Tumarr]Good to hear from you again! Great progress! Just a few more years to go! [/QUOTE]

i hope not...  im hoping to get it painted this winter..

only major purchases left are side pipes (jet-hot hookers), transmission (probably a tko-600, 5spd), and the paint job

yeah the motion front end is history..

Why don't you mount it on the wall...kinda like a moosehead. Good to hear you're doing ok.

also the speed shop i work at on saturdays was bought by some guys who tried to restore a 69 vette once before..

they had a new front bumper 100$

new console cover 75$ and new drivers bumperette 75$

needless to say..  i snatched them up immediately
