Here are some progress pics, I picked the car up April 9th and have been burning the candle at both ends Putting it together ! I really helps when all of the components and sub assemblies are restored/rebuilt.I decided to install the engine and build around it with the front sheetmetal being last.. The damplifier pro sound deadner was a pita to put down but just slapping it with your hand it almost sounds like a marble slab ! almost. The interior will be dead last as I will have to have the seats made up in the correct leather.

Jim, you sure said it ! it adds a ton of money to the project as well. The cruise was pretty much all there when I got the car,I did buy a NOS cruise transducer for about $60.00, the stalk I bought back in the 90's for the cost of about $15.00 The difficult part to find it the carb lever. I'll create a web page and add lots of detailed parts pics of the options. I'm taking lots of pics as I go..

Mike, I had to make the carb bracket to hook up the cruise. I bought a NOS transducer too and still have to install it. I had two used transducers fail. They are tricky and they can look like new but be on their 'last legs'. It's good to have NOS. I find that I do not use the cruise much but it's sure nice to have it on there and complete.....
