Made some progress on the Barracuda last night. Hood latch support & hardware needed to hang the front sheet metal and then the car is ready for final sanding and paint!

Getting the garage organized and ready to go for tomorrow morning. An old HS buddy is coming over to lend a hand. The two of us havent spun wrenches together in decades. It'll be productive and fun to boot!. On the agenda is one or more of the following to-do items, swap old motor mount pads, replace the rest of the trans seals, check the converter fitment, button up the front pump and anything else that comes up. We should put a good dent in it if we can hold off o. The beers for awhile LOL!

Got them old dried up, brittle, motor mounts swapped out... then took my buddy out for a burger and a few beers. Caught up on all those years we missed due to life's ebbs and flows. Crazy how it was like we didn't miss a beat. Funny how it goes with true friends. Them bonds are as tight as ever. Great frigging day.

I know I'm right....
well, Im still trying to figure out why my '03 Silverado 2500HD service body work truck sounded like it was dragging a cone under it when I made a right hand turn...? And the CEL is on...AND the fuel gauge reads empty 90% of the time...Sheesh! Glad I aint paying for it.
not going as quickly as I'd like but its getting closer.

Started hacking away at my "Column shift" steering column for my floor shift conversion. Even though FABO has again shown me the way, I still had wicked sphincter lock for a while as I hit it with the cut off wheel until I got a few chunks off and could see that everything is right where it's supposed to be. Now - patience.....

Got the sheet metal all hung and aligned, door latches, trunk & hood latches in also. Ready for the final hand sanding with 600 grit. Then I will pull the front and rear glass to install the windshield trim clips needed to change it over to stainless pieces.... and then it's time for paint!
Really liking the colors!

Cut out the shifter bracket, mounted the wire bracket and shift lever for my B&M shifter on the trans and fabbed some mounting tabs for the shifter out of an old, rusty piece of scrap. I couldn't believe how perfectly they fit to the trans tunnel! All four stand on the tunnel with hardly any clearance anywhere. Dumb luck.

One owner 70K car sold in my hometown. Spent five weeks repairing paint defects and shook hands with the new owner on a deal today. It was a five year build for me, tugs at my heart to let it go.
