We all get to a certain spot in our restos where it seems we are putting in a lot of hours on the car, but don't appear to be making any progress in relation to the hours invested. I've just gotten over that hump on my 66, and now I can see good progress for the time invested. Hang in there, and good luck the rest of the way.
 
that going to be cool when done Chuck,hey pull thoes bars out of there there a trip hazzered lol.Good luck.
 
Eagle I beam rods came in today! Got the K frame, lower control arms, spindles, manual gear box, upper control arms and some other chassis parts bead blasted, pressure washed and painted today. I have almost decided to just use up all my left over paints and make the car a multicolored paint scheme, something different and wild. Got the PST suspension kit ordered, should be in this next week and I can start the fun part of reassembly.
 
Right, Oldvart.....its all in the prep in the beginning that makes the details stand out in the end.

In all the projects I have been involved in, I have come to understand that the most progress is realized near the end. It's always fun to watch the horror in my customers eyes as we rip a home apart during an install, and watch the the emotions change as we get closer to completion, ending in the elation of the completed theater. This is what I love most about my job...the joy in the customers face as we demo their new home theater. I see that same thing with my cars, and am in the first stages with both of my cars now :( The hard part, and the one that ends most peoples involvement, is when funding holds up progress for any large span of time. Depending on the patience level of the person involved, that time is what gives some of us some great deals on a project. I have had my Duster for a very long time, and HOPEFULLY, my level of patience will outlast my funding.
