Looks like a really nice clean project. You guys must not get rust the way we do in the Rustbelt, I mean Midwest :)

I'm installing a updated wiring kit from Painless wiring. At the same time I'm reupolstering the seats , with new carpeting. The engine was pulled out , but only minor work will be done,, oil pan , engine supports, gaskets ,, etc... I decided to get it repainted,,, planning on going with all black !!! Interior and exterior !!! This car is origanally from california ,, was shipped to canada by the previous owner ! Thats why is still solid . I'll keep you all posted as i advance in my project. Thanks again !!

Did they find more work than what you expected ? Did they give you a date to when they expect to give it back ?

My body guy found my front fenders waved , he sanded them down to metal and said that they were too waved and bent and would need lots of body filler , so I need 2 front fenders,,, I shopped around and thank god I found 2 good used fenders. Car was suppose to be finished by mid september, but an unexpected situation came up , he was moving his buisness to a different ,bigger place . So with all this going on, no work was being done, but that is ok with me, as i had explained to him that this has been a dream of mine to own and restore a muscle car, and not to rush his work. He does amazing work, and he promised me that i wont be dissapointed of his final work.
