'73 S Resto Update:

[yopurp]

All,

It's been a while since I posted an update on my car. The project is now 11 months and counting, my wife got pregnant, had our third kid (now 3mos old) and the car is still not done.

However, the actual work done is pretty good (so far). The body went bare metal, fenders off, back to where it is now. All mechanicals are done (total engine rebuild, 2.2S pistons, Elgin Mod-S cam, machined for twin plugs in the future), total tranny rebuild, new gears, synchros, bushings, etc..., all new suspension components, all new brake set up (new MC, rebuilt S calipers, Zimmerman cross/vented rotors). Early Sixes! All new interior (two problems - '74OE dash, speaker holes in the door panels - long story but wanted to point it out before someone else does, it was a compromise). Glass is all OE except Windshield.

Now we are into sorting wiring (all redone - gawd what a nightmare). Had them pull turn signal lenses as one was cracked and quality was poor, have to touch up some paint as the car has gotten a few scratches being pushed around the shop since it was painted in JUNE!

Anyway, thanks for the continued support, advise, and words of encouragement.
