So I posted about 2 years ago that I had bought a project car/restoration. It's a 90 notch 5.0. Going through the whole thing. Well life happens and it's been slow going. Got a wife and kids.. Enough said. So I'm finally making some progress, we'll a little bit. I've stripped the whole car down, replaced all the door innards except for the Windows which I want to do, cleaned, painted the bottom using por15 black cote spray.. Turned out awesome! Scored some brand new quarter windows with stickers still on them. (don't ask what I paid) 
I just got my 8.8 rear back from getting rebuilt with 9" ends, Detroit locker, all new internals and axles, all outer was stripped, welded and powder coated. Just ordered my qa1 rear coil overs and intend to put the rear back in this weekend. I bought some new in the wrappers cobra r wheels in Carlisle last summer. Just got the rears mounted and balanced. After the rear I'm going to move to the front and paint the engine bay the same color as the car(I think I'm going with either deep impact blue or gts Viper blue) and install Scott rod inner fender panels. I'll then install the front kmember, coil overs and all from suspension which is in my basement. Hopefully that will happen by summer. Got a brand new r302 block and going to be a 347 strocker is getting finished at the machine shop. It will be a fully prepped long block soon in about 1 month (need to pay a bit more). Ha always.. Eventually need to buy the big boys which are the ti trim supercharger and a transmission. Not that I want to think about that. Still don't know if I'm going auto or manual. It'll be about 8-900 hp. 
Anyway thought I'd share. I intended on posting pics but not sure I can from my phone. . I'll try.
