Thanks for the encouragement guys and all the help ! I'm in a hurry too people think I work for the body shop, I'm always checking on the car

[T/A Kid]

I just go a couple of shots today no memory card in the camera The shop is now working on the door and fender alignment,sorry I didn't get a good shot of that. They seem to be doing a pretty good job, it just seems to have a little larger gap at the latch end than I remember, I realize that they are working with more than one component to try to get all the gap equal, Still I'm wondering has anyone ever used any body filler to help get the gap smaller at the latch end of the door, or will that not hold up? I'll try to get some more shots next week. Sorry about the large pics I'm still working on that.

Installed the motor and trans I'm including a side shot with the motor and trans in , I installed new coil and leaf springs right now it appears to set about 1.5" higher in the front, hopefully when all the other parts are installed the height will improve. When I get it running it's back to the paint shop for final prep then 2 part base and clear.

Hope so just working on it as I can, would like to get it running and get the paint finished, most of the rest of the car is ready to be installed.

That temp sender shouldn't have any teflon tape on it.  It's self sealing and needs ground.  The threads may have cut the tape and you might have ground anyway though.

One of the other guys told me about  it in a earlier post, I took it out and it cut through the tape down to the metal. Thanks

You will be amazed at how much it will drop with the weight of the front bumper, hood, nose, etc. It looks to me that it will be just about right when it is all said and done. My car sat that high at that stage and it leveled out quite nicely. Also you don't have any interior in there yet and that adds up as well.

Looking good thus far! Don't see many sundance yellow ones that's for sure!!

[T/A Kid]

I hope you're right I'd really rather not have to go through the coil spring routine. Thanks for your input thats make me feel better about it!

Your car is starting to take shape!  It's looking really good!
