Everything is going together quite nicely, though slowly!

HOLY SHIT , I thought this EZ wiring kit was scary.

Boy you do paint everything don't you. lol I think it would take me a while to get use to the two colors. May look better when the car is finished. I can say that since it isn't yours. Did you get your wiring all done?

Haven't finished up the wiring yet, getting the chassis finished up, firewall and cowl prepped for paint, then get the body back on and final prep it for paint.

Dave did you know that the power steering pumps on those hemi's are too strong for the mustang racks? At least that is what Street And Performance says.

Yup, takes a pressure reducer...

The engine is tight but check out light smoke its intermittent . A little over a 1-40 seconds

Finally got the bottom of the body almost ready for the chassis, still a bit of work to do on the insides of the fenders and a few other spots. The Plymouth is going to be a driver, the owner wanted bedliner on the bottom so that's what he gets!!! Looks decent, though I prefer paint on my own cars, it does add a lot of durability to the bottom of the car!

I am very envious of you organized guys.

Dave we both did some floor work finally have the Stang floors in paint .

The ol' Horse is really coming along nicely Bobby, floors look great!!!!

Got the chassis almost ready on the Plymouth, have to paint the cowl and firewall on the body then bolt the body back on for the last time!!! I can almost see the end of this one, finally... Now if i could just find some time to work on my stuff!!!!!

Dave I found this the other day and thought you may be interested in seeing it.http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/...structions.pdf

How is that stock oil pan working on the Plymouth. I have a mid sump on mine that I may have to change but all of these after market pans are so expensive. I missed out on a Charlies pan on ebay that sells for almost $400 and it went for $77.

no problems at all with the pan...engine is from a pickup so maybe that makes a difference.

Got the body back on the frame and starting to get some of the pieces put into place. Fuel tank and lines in the rear compartment, window track and motors, some insulation, etc. Finally starting to look like a car. Outside of the body will need one more coat of hi-build primer and some more blocking.
