Since I’m hangin around the forum again I figured I bump this up from the long past and give a little update.
The car is still alive and reasonably well, got about 35,000 more miles on it and its due for a repaint and new top, which I’m hoping to do this spring. I still haven’t changed the wheels or found a good rear window to install, not that I’ve look to hard for the window, we almost always drive it with the top down so who cares.

A couple of years back a guy in a truck caved in the right rear quarter and fender, not to bad tho. I did all the hammer and dolly work and spot painted it so that’s on the list to finish too. The mild 1835cc I had in it developed a crack from a head stud across the oil gallery so it running a stock 1600 DP right now. Features include: 2” chop top, smoothed/dechromed, ’73 Pan, front disks, one piece door glass, frameless side windows, custom dash with matching right side speaker grill, W lid with pull cable release, 56 Chevy taillights, relocated air intake under the back fenders, lowered rear bumper. I’d be happy to give more detail if anybody is interested.
