Tom, it's a work of art...I truly mean that, it is gorgeous. Hopefully you'll make it to the American Muscle show this year so I can check it out!

Very rarely am I ever stunned by the overwhelming beauty of a car but this car is unreal. I truely can't wait to see the finished product.

Okay, quick update for everyone.

Luckily I found out the stock 03-04 driveshaft will work in my car, so I didn't need to build a custom one. Saved some money there.

Did alittle more insulating before carpet.

Carpet went down. Gotta give a shout out to LateModel Resto on the carpet. I have had other carpets in this car, this is by far the best. And yes it is ACC. Thats what I used in my trucking days and should have never let some of these guys steer me wrong. Finally love the carpet in this car.

Started mocking up the AC under the dash

Mockup of the console. Yes that is a mini ipad flush mounted with one touch quick release. Will be used for tunes and nav.

Started work on the custom plenum. More to come on this.

Got the hood back from my painter. Underside is nicer than the top side. Yes the cowl scoop is going back on.

Fenders going on.

Not using hose clamps, instead the Gates Thermoplastic clamps.

Like everyone has mentioned, work is just flawless. I can only hope to do the same quality of work one day.

On a side note, with the thermoplastic clamps, what do you do if you ever have to remove stuff or do work? Do you simply just cut them and pull them off and replace them with a new thermoplastic clamp or what?
