Do you have a shot of the door? Looks like it had a little ad art on it at one point but I can't tell.

Cool.

Next Up plumbing brake lines, install engine and transmission. Maybe my family will start to think I am not CRAZY after all - Probably not.

Looks great! I really like to see nicely painted frames that are BLACK!

There was an add on craigslist for a 292 engine and it was on a 56 frame that was painted like a light blue! How stupid!
