I can tell you body work SUCKS!
Its great to have it this far along, i don’t have to worry about it rusting anymore. ;-)
Now to finish the brakes, steering and fuel tank install is to complete for the rest of the year.

It's looking really good, too bad it has to come all apart for paint, which is what I'm doing now. Body work is the longest and tidiest part of the build..

I did about 98% of the body work first.
Done a lot of body mods, shaving smoothing on this one.
To finish the brakes, steering, fuel tank install.
Wheels, engine, tranny and then paint. Oh wow that's a lot left.
