still around, thanks for asking. I just finished putting the new rack and pinion in my Z3 last weekend. no blog for that, just greasy work. gotta get an alignment now.

Next is fixing the water neck on the 70 dart, leaking a drip of antifreeze every second or so from the seal.

As for the 55 I'm waiting on that reproduction heater plenum box I've been working with the vender on for almost a year now. at that point I will get the firewall pad and start mounting everything under the dash including the wiring harness.

after that will be front windshield and side windows. bumpers, grille, then interior. I'm about done...doesn't seem like much, but it'll take a bit of work.

I am going with an aftermarket universal harness like many have suggested. I got over my fear of them and since I'm going with dual EFI at some point...this will make it a snap. I'm also going to neg ground.

after that will be back to the 37 and a new harness for it as a winter project I'm thinking. a few other things on it will need work as well.

btw....the carbs found a new home, but so did a set of 1937 Texas plates....which just happened to be on my 37 when my Grandfather owned it. what are the odds of that....about as crazy as finding those carbs I'd say.
