Getting the car ready by June of course. Things usually take a lot longer than expected. I'm hoping to get mine done by than. Pete.

Well the engine bay is totally cleared, the interior is out, and the gas tank is out. Bill who will be doing the body work will pick up the car the beginning of next week. He will do the engine compartment, the small rust area on the floor pan in the interior and the trunk. He need about a month. In the interum the Turbo manifold will take about a month to fabricate and in the same time the pistons are being machined to 8.0 compession. So lets say by March 15 the engine bay,inside, and trunk area all have the body work done and also all the engine pieces to but the Turbo engine in. So one more month for the engine puts us at mid April, and Bill the body man needs 6 weeks to strip the car, prep,prime and paint. During all this i will be working on the interior so by June it should be together. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Nice vintage radio in that car! Looks like the underpinnings of a great car. Best of luck.

Gotta say, if you get that all done by june I'll be very jealous. I'm headed into two years on this one.
