Those seats look like they will be comfortable too.

It's looking great! Did you all miss that nasty weather that went through Ok and AR? My brother and parent's drove through MO on Saturday coming from picking up a ponton boat up in AR for my Dad. They said they were just ahead of that mess for half of the trip back.Ryan

Yeah, we've had rain the last two weekends. No fun car stuff lately, my clutch went out in my daily driver so I've had to get that one back up and running. Fingers crossed, the weather looks good for the weekend. I'm hoping to take the 49 to the car show Friday night and work on the 48 Saturday.1 Corinthians 1:27

Lots done today; mounted the other seat, finished up several small things on the front suspension including putting on some shocks, and got the front gravel pan and bumper bracket mounted. Also knocked out a few small wiring things and finished putting in all the front sheet metal bolts. My buddy that did the paint is coming over this week to touch up a couple small nicks and buff the whole car. Once I get the back fenders bolted down and get the drive shaft cut and installed, I can take it down the street to see if everything is working.1 Corinthians 1:27

Full is right, I'm at my three car limit. I'm thinking of selling the 49 this fall to open up a spot; we'll see. I've been known to change my mind a time or two.1 Corinthians 1:27

Thanks, Rich. I finished up the gauges today; I converted the fuel gauge over to a 0-90 ohm GM gauge, used the stock oil psi gauge and decided to use to aftermarket gauges for temp and volts. I'm putting them where the original radio was and put block off plates where the sat on the factory cluster. Also got some of the dash put together. My drive shaft is in and I did move it forward and back a few feet but I'm waiting on my buddy to finish up some touch up on the deck lid before I try to test drive it.1 Corinthians 1:27

Doesn't look much different but I spent several hours and finished up 99% of the under dash wiring and added a tach. Laying on the floor working overhead was a back breaker; glad to have this part wrapped up.1 Corinthians 1:27

".... Laying on the floor working overhead was a back breaker....."
I hear you, biggest problem I seem to have is getting up and out once I'm done!!!!
Looks good by the way.
.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
