Thanks, I can't wait to see it finished either. I'd love to start another project immediately, but I'm looking to purchase a house next, so the VET is going to be it for awhile. I just want to be able to come out, fire it up, go cruising and come home and park it without having to work on it. Then again it has been retired from daily status, so tinkering here and there will always happen. Once it's built, it'll never see another engine change, apart from bottomends if need be...

The next project is going to have a V8 though.

You guys should think about media blasting the car... I know it'll create a mess and extra work, but it'll help find those rusted out areas pretty well, and clean it up at the same time.
