    Fabulous Tom. And while 6 years seems long, well, it's less than mine took, so bonus points to you. Looks great.

    Congrats Tom! It looks fantastic. I restored my 69 E for roughly the same time Tom did his build. I can’t count the number of good quality parts I bought from Tom and all his help for my build, so to see yours finished is so great. Cheers on a fantastic build and for being a great guy! Steve

    I really do appreciate all the positive comments on this project. The weather here in CT has been too nasty to attempt a first drive so I have been doing some finishing work. I installed the air box and the associated plumbing, the steering wheel and horn pad, the drivers front seat and the front seat belts. Next I will be doing the 4 wheel alignment to set front & rear toe and camber. Here are some more photos.

    Hey Tom, your car looks great.

    Question, how did you repair the sagging LR bumper? It seems many 70 cars have the same problem? I have included a photo of mine, it looks identical to yours.
