It's really coming together! Garage paint job didn't turn out as nice as I had hoped but it will do for now. Really liking the black grille and side mirrors. Hopefully a couple weeks and it will be running and driving!

It turned out really nice.
I just picked up an 85 2wd shorty to play with. 440 auto 8.75
 
Looking great!!...
Keep the pedal to the metal and you might get some drive time this summer still...:thumbsup:...
 
What was the test drive like? Freeway? Any bugs to work out or just all green lights?...
Sorry I missed your question, we just went slowly around the Crescent we live on just to say we did. I've been super busy what with starting a different job and all, so progress has been slow. I have all the wiring buttoned up now. What a job that was! I am just working on putting the interior together this evening and it's almost ready to go. If things go well, he can start driving it before Christmas!

I'm sure they'll be quite a few shakedown drives and working out bugs. It happens on every restoration I've ever done.... Even the most meticulous restorations end up needing a couple things tweaked and change and most need one or two things redone but usually it's a quick and easy job....
