Looks fantastic and gives hope to someone like myself doing a frame off and it gets frustrating. Start, do some work here and there, make progress and have to stop for a while...

Did the TRO flip. Added carpet and belts. Put the charcoal canister/ fuel vent system back together. Added a cheap lock box for the rear (harbor freight after coupon ~$75). Been driving around town and tweaking things. Next need to fabricate headrests....

Super nice! Coming together, but...

...This right here:
Been driving around town and tweaking things.

is the most amazing thing of all! 'Bout time too I'd say.
I don't remember if you've been driving it around for awhile now, but just seeing it in print is putting a light at the end of the tunnel.

Good to hear it.

No sir, after your advice about the TRO and ball joints I was waiting to get that done. The bars ended up pretty "parallel" too! Finished it over the weekend and been driving it the last 3 days....

I still need to get it aligned but not sure where to take it yet.

Thanks again Paul!
