I got this car from a member here on FABO and did some trading. I wanted this car because it was a 4 speed car he had a built 360 and a late model 4 speed in it and put the 8 #/4 sure grip in it and also put some doug headers on but it used to have fender well headers on it. so now I am doing my thing to it. First off fix the fender wells and paint the car and here is the procress I have done so far.

Wow, nice transformation. Great job so far, can't wait to see the finished product!!! Geof
 
Jim I know what you are going through just keep up the good work. did you get the cowl in yet post some pictures of it when you get some spare time.
 
Well guys I had to stop working on the project wife found out she has beast cancer and had to go have surgery so the thing is put on hold until she is back to her normal ways. You don't relise how much they do until something happens.
 
Findly got to go work on the cuda and color sanded it to put the clear on now I got to color sand the clear and start buffing it is really making a old man out of me. here are a few pictures of it. Still waiting for the decal guy to put some decals on it.

My condolensces for the wife! Hoping for the best for both of you. You have done an outstanding job in the car!!!
 
Thinking of your wife Earl.

This is the thread of yours that I was looking for. Finally found it.
Great job that you are doing, keep the pics coming as you get a chance to do some more.

Again, best wishes for your wife from Downunder
 
Earl! Hope everything turns out fine for your wife. Re your car you have done a great job on it. That gotta be a nice cruiser. 360 and four speed must be the way to go. Good luck. Ulf
 
Prayers sent for you and your wife!! Car is awesome, but take care of that woman, the car will wait!! Hope all goes well with the treatment ahead for your wife!

nice job on your 65 fish, not my choice of colors but it is a different color scheme. prayers to you and your family you need to kick that big "C" out of here so she can cruise with you in your finished fish. i hope that when i get my cuda done it will be just as nice as yours but in B-5 blue with black racing stripes or maybe silver and black cuz i am going black interior

I wish your wife a good health and send prayers for you and your famelie .

Happy to here your wife is a survivor. We will keep her in our prayers. Your orange fish looks great. I hope mine turns out as well. I sure miss driving an 18 wheeler and coming out your way, except that weigh station in Banning.
Have a Great Easter Holiday. Jesus left this earth and said He would come back one day to take His family home. What a gift!
 
Yes she is Bless but is comming along a slow recovery but she is still here.
