    The '50 Burb will be finally done this year (spring) after 7 years or so. Minor interior stuff, swap out the gas tank, reset the rear IRS pinion angle, install the rear heater, wire in the audio, stuff like that. Then I can get started on my 29 sedan!

    I plan on having my 57 Fairlane running buy summer again I'm working on the wiring this week and if the weather heats back up ill be shooting some primer and color in the next couple weeks block it out and paint some color. the bodies got some rust holes and stuff i plan to just shoot over them until next winter ill buy new side panels to weld in, but i really want to drive the 57 with the new engine and trans for the summer then break it all apart this winter and have the body shot with baking soda and then re do the sides of the car that i haven't touched yet i just shaved the firewall and did the body work for that so I'm stoked to get her done sooner than later its been a year of work since i don't get much time to work on her

    Believe it or not, this will be a running, driving car by June. I just took this pic last weekend. With the help of Titus and others, my dream will be realized after 20 years of having this car in my possession.

    Mine fo'sho. All I have left is a little wiring and to buy a battery. That is "finished" in my book. No side glass or bed floor but I'll get to that sometime.

  28. "Finished" is a subjective word, but driveable, before Billetproof FL, March 21st.

    Little bit of wiring left, brake tweaks... It's been fun squirting up and down the driveway...
