Today i got all four fenders cleaned up real nice and I washed the car too. Then i put 3 of the fenders on the car. I'm going to have to do some metal work on the passenger rear quarter panel. I banged on it and tried bending it, but I'm no professional, so it will probably need to be replaced. I got the new ignition installed, and i did a little 'adjustment' on the fuel line where it passes next to the tranny.

Also, My engine is pretty much ready to install. I'm going to get it in the car and get the car running and worry about the quarter panel down the road a bit.

My camera is MIA, I will try to get some pics up soon.


do we get to come help you put the engine in? As easy as bug motors are, four or more hands are better than two! :thumbs: :thumbs:

Fenders will be black, the rest of the car will stay as-is. I'm debating on the wheels, red or white?

i think i'd like both.
