Finally got paint on. Rebuilt engine and tranny ran nice. No doors or hood yet, but they are painted and ready. Makes for an extra airy ride! Have an electrical issue, have not had time to check on it yet. Probably self - inflicted.

Re: Paint job complete
when i first put my motor in, i was even more "rat" than yours with only one seat. I loved what a screamer the car was with all that weight gone. Other warned that i could bend the chassis without the doors. I suffered no ill effects, but let warning be served.

If there was any truth to that theory I would NOT be able to open the doors on my 77 at this point.azruss wrote:Other warned that i could bend the chassis without the doors. I suffered no ill effects, but let warning be served.
