Well not sure how creative you are expecting, but progress none the less, LOL.

So tonight was spent looking for parts to keep the "fitting" process on track. It was actually like Christmas morning again. The project has been apart for over 10 years maybe more. I have owned the car for 8 years and one of my car buddies is ribbing me to finish it. He wants to drive it!

A few more pics of the body being fitted to the new wood frame this weekend. I found some more items to help with the measuring process. How many holes can you put in a wooden frame? Once the woodwork is finished, we move on to the bodywork.

Rust isn't too bad. I just have some repairs to redo from a bad 1980s restoration.

I am going to need to order a new wiring harness in the next couple of months. Any words of wisdom or caution on such??

We are working hard to keep everything original and to AACA standards. Not sure it will have a chance at AACA, but a good yardstick none the less..

BTW I need to thank Ben Lewis for the photo work. It has been a lifesaver on the documentation and sometimes just for plain memories of what we did last.
