Looks Great Man!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-08-2013, 06:54 PM

Well "Life" keeps happening & I refuse to borrow $ to get this thing
any further than it is. At best, she makes a few events this year in
her underwear. (Primer) I still need my Doors and the Nose aligned.
I have the interior, but I also need that all covered. I need the 1/2
Top reworked so that it is usable, and of course the biggie. (Paint)

I have stuff on Craigslist and Ebay trying to raise the $ for all the
minor stuff and was hoping by Spring to just need Paint. Going to
try and have a planned "Shop" day sometime in May. (I'm hoping)

hgs_notes · 02-08-2013, 07:01 PM

Good luck with all that.

**jaros44sr** · 02-08-2013, 07:23 PM

Good luck with "life". Hope things get better in the future...still going to vacation in the poconos this year?

**Palf70Step** · 02-08-2013, 09:20 PM

I know what you mean Craig. Both of mine sit for time & funds at the moment. But our rides will go again!

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-11-2013, 06:32 PM

Guess I need to update this thread. I took here down to CTC in October
and the Old Girl did pretty well considering I had less than 20 road miles
on her since the "Resto Mod" was completed. Interior is all done, except
for putting things in that I'll have to remove for the Painter. Half Top is
over at my Body guy getting worked on at some point. I ditched glass
windshield cowl in pic for a OEM radio delete cause it fits better. I also
recently scored an older (Brand New, Never Used) Early SBC 1000 CFM
Holley MPFI Pro-Jection 2, so I'll be ditching the Carb over the Holidays.

She is still lacking a paint job, no money left for that, but that's all !!!!!

**Palf70Step** · 12-11-2013, 06:52 PM

Git R' done Craig....CTC 2014 is coming up quick!

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-12-2014, 06:56 PM

Took here to a show a few weeks ago, another one
this coming Saturday, and 1-2 more before CTC 14'

No real progress except the MPFI unit, been broke.

**Palf70Step** · 05-12-2014, 08:37 PM

Glad to see it getting some workout Craig!

smbrouss70 · 05-12-2014, 09:33 PM

Is she running good since the MPFI swap?

msgross · 05-13-2014, 09:03 AM

Looks like they put you in the SUV section of the show, hopefully you placed higher than that Buick thingy sitting beside you!

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-13-2014, 02:40 PM

Bill,

She's getting there, bit off more than I could chew.

Stevo,

Runs awesome, but she still needs some minor tuning.

MSG,

It wasn't entered, but snagged a covered parking
spot to keep her out of the sun most of the day.

C10_ustacould · 07-29-2014, 08:59 AM

I dig your ride bro!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-29-2014, 05:39 PM

It's getting there, got a guy coming over to look at one
of two my 1/2 tops tonight, hopefully he takes it home!

smbrouss70 · 07-30-2014, 10:28 AM

AND???? Did he take them?

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-31-2014, 06:23 PM

He bought the Aftermarket one, Didn't buy the Custom one.

Still undecided on which direction to go for weather issues.

C10_ustacould · 12-08-2014, 11:09 PM

Any pics of the dash and interior?

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-19-2014, 10:22 AM

Pic w/ the MTP 1/2 Cab

C10_ustacould · 12-19-2014, 10:26 AM

Sucha sweet ride!

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-31-2017, 06:10 PM

Update: Finally has an Audition with a Painter next weekend

*My Dream Build has turned into a Forever build, but hey
almost everything I have is now paid for including House
so I'm not regretting it, just wish had not taken so long.

**Palf70Step** · 04-01-2017, 09:03 AM

low'n slow · 04-01-2017, 07:21 PM

A long wait, but it will be worth it.

**lks dcvn** · 04-01-2017, 11:00 PM

Awesome - what color are you going with Craig?

woodridge · 04-03-2017, 07:53 AM

Good things come to those who wait.

Whoever said that has never had a project like ours. lol

suspectdon · 06-06-2017, 03:21 PM
