Thanks Steve...Same thing I said when I walked in the door and seen her today.
Much appreciated Roger...You've been around for the long haul on this one. I bet you were begining to think like me, wondering if she'll ever make it to paint. Finally there partner! Man am I glad I went with black. Hats off to the painter.
Thanks for taking the time to read the roadrunner book nosser..This thread is getting so long we're gonna have to split it up into chapters. Thanks again, and send over some of that warm air due east if you get a chance..lol

No dancing Steve...I already find way too many ways to embarrass myself on a daily basis.
Thanks Dave and Jerley....I was thinking either the American Racing Torq-Thrust II's or the Crager 610C's...Kind of a toss up right now. Heck of a tough decision to figure out.

Glad you like it and it brings back some good memories Bubber...Much obliged.
Thanks Matt! As far as the hours....Starting from plain metal (what it was like when it left my garage) All the filing, hammer, spooning, skim, sand, block, prime, guide and so on would be around 140-160 hours on my part i'm guessing. The body Shop also billed in 23 hours on body. As far as the actual painting (which wasn't me at all) I'm being billed for 17 hours for spray of primers/sealers/paints/clears as well as wet/color sanding and polishing. I know there giving me a super good deal on that end.
With the engine, it is slow going. I already have a blueprint/game plan on the engine and have bought some of the components. I've been holding off on moving on the engine till all the meat and potato's with the paint and upholstery costs came rolling in. You know as well as I that whatever you may think it's gonna cost X's it by three and you'll probably be close. Plan is to get the block down for machining including bore/ridge reeming, deck, notching, oil sump mod and ARP crank studs to be installed hopefully in the next month or two. I'm in no rush, plus there's the whole money thing on top of that.
