    I have the opposite situation now that it's coming to Ohio.
     
  7. are you gonna try to have it ready for the next low country drags???
     
  8. Slow progress is better than no progress. I walk past mine about everyday. :(

    If you just keep after it little by little it will get done. one day you'll go out and say gee all thats left is to drive it. What you got looks good from where I sit.
     
  9. slow and steady is how it gets done.....thats a cool project
     
  10. Lookin good, keep at it.

    I stared at mine in the garage over the weekend.

    thanks guys. the fun is in the build.the body will stay as is for now. i'll add some weathered lettering to match the paint, but everything else i want nice shiny and detailed.the bottom of the floorpans and chassis is painted satin black.
