Well with all the fires burning I had to cheat . This guy came and worked my 31 at my house . Since then he has moved into a shop . So I took the 37 up there for him to do his sheet metal magic on it .

I will get it back later this year but done and ready to do drive line . I am taking that to him also to set in place all I will do is rebuild it later . I may get one done yet . He is good , he is fast , and right now I am one of a couple who got in the door first .

Nice looking shop, Bobby! Looks like you picked the right guy to do the work, plus you get the bonus of watching him work on other cool stuff.
Dave, that's a great idea on those screws and I think I know of a good source to get them. I dont have a clock but that's a good idea; I'll see what Evilbay has to offer.
Pro, your lettering looks fantastic! The guy should be really happy with it.

Nice shop for sure and a great line up of cars, I'll take the body up on the shelf if you run out of room!

Tony that is a fiberglass body there . He looking for a steel body at the time .

Falcon wowzer to you that big sheet metal is moving along . Drive train and all coming in soon .

Dave those camaro's take alot of work and that customer will be a amazed one at that .

Dont think I ever did this one but a little vid of walk around .

Nice video! Looks like the plan is in motion. Did you say something about chopping it right near the end?

My rebuild kit came in so I hope to assembling an engine this weekend but no garage time until Sunday after church. I've got this thing called Valentines day to attend to. I'm taking my wife to the Patti Labelle and the O-Jays concert at the Fox Theatre in St Louis so I rented this little gem for us to drive tomorrow night.

Yeah he had asked if I wanted a chop . But I dont , it looks too good the way Henry did it . Also If I did chop it , the most would only be 1 1/2 inches is all . So after a short time of thinking I am leaving the roof all alone .

I think you're right to leave it; that car has a beautiful roofline just like it is.

Falcon yes it does a perfect look .

I think I'm going with this for decals.

That is great falcon, I am loving the balloons, very cool and nostalgic. The only "I Scream" truck that sounds like a vegtable, "Potatoe-potatoe-potato"! LOL!!

If you ever decide to call it "I Scream" you will have to put a big blown power plant in it with narrowed rear end with fat tires.

Or put both feet on the gas pedal as you throw it into the corners...

I was trying to have someone design an IScream logo for the side but after having three guys commit to drawing something and none of them coming through, I figured I'd just go with what was readily available. Yesterday was one of those days; put the whole short block together and then glanced at the ring installation diagram as I was throwing it away. I'd put the second compression ring in upside down on every cylinder. I'm glad I saw it before I kept going, but pulling all the pistons again really sucked!

A good "Opps" helps everything get done right Falcon! Hell you didn't even bleed so you got off easy! LOL!!! I'm with ya all the way bro, two steps forward one back!! Hang in there!
