    wow , i guess i need to keep on threads a bit better ha ha . Well an update is over a year since the last post but im getting closer and closer . Should be running fairly shortly . All new wiring , interior , floors , the 69 12 bolt is built and in and just found a set of those Ansen ground grabbers tonight so they are going on . All the engine and tranny mounts are completed also . New glass , blower is going up to dyers next week for a once over , all the new brake pieces are on the way as well.
    I still have a pretty good ways to go but i knew it wasnt going to be a quick project. Someone told me when i started this project " just because its on a budget doesnt mean it has to be poorly built , it just means the time line gets a little longer" And ive pretty much lived by that . Only plan on doing it once . Anyways , it doesnt look like much has changed but there is alot of new stuff in there that ya just cant see ha ha .

    And as if i needed to say anything , Ya , puddin was a big inspiration.
