a few recent pics. Been doing a little here and there.

Painted the whole car (except front apron, will do that soon) with Krylon Khaki paint, in my garage. Added short axles. Lowered a few clicks out back. Cleaned up the interior a little. I still have plenty to do, just doing a little at a time.

Not cruising yet. I bought some rebuilt heads since one of the heads had a burnt valve. The new heads are a little different from the old ones. I need to replace 4 of the cylinder studs (not sure if this is what they're called), the long studs threaded on both ends. Two of those on each side are now too short since the heads are a little different.
