    Im not giving up, Robin. It'll get there when it gets there and I've got my other car to tinker with in the meantime. I did just pick up my wheels from the powdercoating place and they look awesome; I'm glad I sprung the extra $$ for it. Also bolted a few more things on the engine and started dragging out some parts that have been stored for a while.

    The wheels look good.

    That's the part I like, it's usually like christmas....the down side is finding the duplicates and parts you still need.

    I got a few things bolted on; coil packs, MSD, sensors. It's starting to look like something. I still need to figure out an A/C compressor. I've seen some exaples of the the GM pancake compressor mounted with S-10 brackets on an LS1 to get it up high. I'll probably go with that.

    Engine looks good now that it's going together Falcon! Looks like plenty of room up on top to build some nice brackets and get the compressor mounted!

    I spent last evening hanging plastic for a paint booth. We mixed up some Slicksand and hit a few low spots; one those are blocked out she'll be ready to shoot. We're leaving on an Alaska cruise on July 4th; should be all one color before we take off.

    Looks great . Fun to see some folks making progress. As usual, fighting time and weather, to keep house from falling apart(siding repair and paint this summer!) So waiting on truck for when friends are around to help get the engine back in!

    Yeah, house maintenance is great for getting in the way of car progress!

    Finally after 4 years I got some paint on the car this weekend. I think it came out nice; next step to finish up the doors and decklid and shoot them, and then onto the front clip. I gotta laugh; I looked back at the first posting of this thread from May of 08 and I had said I thought i"d be done with the car in about 18 months. Boy, did I have a lot to learn.

    The car looks great, Falcon!!!! You're going to have yourself one heck of a fleet of MoPars!!!!

    BTW--You will get the car done in 18 months, it'll just take some "adjusting" to what your start date is!!!!!!!

    That's really coming along nice. I took the coming week off and once I get a few things done on my truck I just might head up your way, I need to get out of Springfield for a day or two.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Thanks all; now it's time for a nice break. My wife and I and some other family members are heading to Seattle for a 7 day Alaskan cruise on Wednesday. It'll be nice to get away from work and from the 100+ temps we've had for a week. NTFDAY, I wish our scheduled lined up; you'd be more than welcome if I was going to be home. Bon Voyage, all; I'll try to log on and touch base while I'm on the ship.
