I like it a lot! Gonna be a very fun cruiser!!

Thanks Fratzog and thanks GooBak! It has been a long road. I am always back and forth on customizing vs. rodding vs. restoring the car. I like to look at it as a sort of "period correct" customization. Something you'd see in the late '60s or maybe early '70s. Now if my wallet would just pitch in...

Thanks all! And Merry Christmas

May be another month or two... or six or seven! Just wanted to chime in to say I'm still plugging away. Been a rough year money and time wise. The dream is still alive to have the ol girl on the road at some point in time. Bear with me!

Thank you. I have the headers on finally.... It was not a fun experience! It wasn't a fitment problem. Its that nearly every stud was stripped or mangled or even bent somehow.... It was a mess to say the least. I'll never put headers on another one unless I have the engine out of the car, and...

You got much better pics than I did! It seemed like there was maybe a slightly bigger crowd this year compared to the last two. I hope next year is even bigger.

Score!! Had a good find at the show. I picked up a near perfect set of A100 bucket seats that will be going in my BB D100 project truck. All I can figure is that they must have been in storage for years. They are very nice original seats. Picked up some tail light assemblies for the truck also...

I will be there. Very much looking forward to it!

This looks like a very fun project! I will be following this one, and welcome to the site!

Welcome! Very nice car. I like everything about it!

I can't believe I've missed this build thread! That is one slick looking paint job. Can't wait to see how this all comes together!

My name is Nathan or Nate for short. (N8) for even shorter... The first forum i was on was for Jeep Cherokees. Still love my Jeep! Mine is a '96 and the Cherokees were called XJs, so ( 96XJ )

Awesome! Sound like its real close to being back on the road!

Thanks y'all. Man I see all those wires and it scares me a little. Never liked wiring problems. At least its not like a new car with thousands of wires and hundreds of sensors and relays. I think I can handle it.

I've pulled the engine and trans in my Fury. Installed the cam, intake and carb and distributor as well as the radiator and fuel cell. This car was my first attempt at body work and paint. Learned a lot! There are several things I will do differently next, but I'm pleased with the result as a...
