    Sounds like a whole lot of12 oz aluminum curls to me. Seriously if you take the beer out of the equasion untill the evenings work is done it would be a blast.

    I've never seen so much as one beer at Marshall's

    Marshall runs a very serious shop
    and some of the guys working on this car are practically... well they are serious in their pursuit of perfection too

    We started the tonue (I think thats how you spell it) cover this week and got all the body mounts done, we also took apart are core motor and found out that it has a bad crank so if any one here in this part of the world has a crank from a 270-302 we are on the hunt for one ,(It needs to have a 6 bolt flywheel)

    We used about 50ft of crome molly tube and the bare frame is about 90#s
    The side shots are hard to get because of where the car is setting
