Thanks Guys! I am hoping to have it driving later today! So i can bring it to my friends house so i can use his lift and fit my exhaust, I should have alot more pictures!

Also I started doing my interior, All leather on top will be black, black headlinear not sure if there will be a design on it, black seats, gonna have our interior restorer for all the muscle cars that we get stitch my rear seats to match my fronts with some suede in it to match the passenger, drivers and center armrest that will be done in suede along with the little bit of fabric in the lower front sections of the door. The wood grain will be painted the same color as the exterior and the lower leather parts will be black so there wil just be a center wrap of ivory.

All I have done so far is figure out how everything should look talked with our interior guy at work and ordered these seats, Lots to do to get ready for 2 up comming car shows!!

Well today my boss told me he wants me to take my time putting my car together so i won't have any hick ups later on. Also meaning the exterior, he said to do it right it will take a month or more of work. So I started double checking over everything and taking time. Here is some stuff from today...

Thanks Guys! Progress Today, Engine Went in very easily just took many precautions because of new paint.

Redid Brake Lines, rear will be stainless steel and teflon


Redoing rewire to run with stock wires


As you can tell many precautions, raised car, blankets, jack for trans. no scratches! remember th350 is a fat trans!


To Many Mosquitoes had to move it inside.


Showing Chevy love with the Chevy Orange Paint on the th350


More pictures everyday!

Thanks dreamsc300, and blacksc4 I agree with you 100% cause when it's dark you can't even tell that it has flakes.
