There'd be a lot more progress if I could get that damn rear end out. The bolt heads are in such a position that it's almost impossible to get a socket on it.

And hopefully tomorrow, Don Koller shows up with the new cowl. Then it's time to get my welder hooked up so I can start building the body. I've pretty much given up on the engine from America's Packard Museum, as Bob won't answer his phone when I call and it's been 4 months since I last talked to him about it. So, I'm still on the search for a 359, or even a 356, at this point I'm not too picky, I'd even take a '36-'39 320 or a '36 385.
