    I finished the wife's 37 Chevy. waiting on the my interior guy to call so he can get started. We put almost 1000 mile on it this fall. Runs sweet.
    The other plan is to drive the wheels off the 40 Chevy...

    - add a dual exhaust with some Porters to the 235
    - toss a classy yet cool two-tone paint on it
    - and DRIVE:D

    got this tonneau cover done the last few days of 2010. ...new steering box last week. Now, just finishing up the details and breaking in the new motor. ...got in about 50 miles yesterday. Then ship it off to my daughter.

    Then, I want to get DeSoto style side trim finished on the shoebox:

    NOT FUN: Figure out my detonation problem, new seals all around motor, new wiring

    Trying to finish it. Want to drive it to the GoodGuys PPG Nationals in Columbus this coming July. The interior probably won't be done, but we're getting close to finishing the exterior & making her run.

    This year I hope to get my project to the point to drive it around the block. Starting on the motor in a week or so: 283, PP heads redone and shaved, 327 cam, Holley 4 barrel 4160 paired with a TH350. Once the mechanics are complete, onto the frame and chassis, convert to front disc brakes and replace passenger side floor plan and put the seat back in. At that point I hope to at least drive this puppy around enought to break the motor in.

    Oh, also need to get the trunk redone so I will have someplace to mount the gas tank.

    Then it will be time for the quarter panels and doors.
