Project getting close to the finish line

Hi Tom, Glad you're coming close to the end zone. You car is beautiful. I am happy for you and still appreciative for the MCF air cleaner you sold me years ago when your current adventure began. Jim

Yowza; absolutely gorgeous. The contrast of the exterior and
engine colors is beautiful. I'm green with envy.....
(And that stellar grille is making my jeans tight.)
 
Round two, driver side board and fender then its time to roll! Its amazing how much size difference on my tires was. 700-16 and 550-16 on the fronts.

Only part left is a new rubber mat for the front floor interior. Thinking black this time instead of beige. Thanks to all for kind words and help over the years!
 
W O W !!! Gett'n your kicks with that SWEET 36. Right on the money & sweeter than honey ! That engine belongs in my living room ..........
 
One more for the group, interior is done except floor mat. It was a LeBarron Bonney kit from ten years ago. Was going to change it but was in great shape and really matched the blue color nicely .

39Portlander, Beachwood beige Brown metallic on the bird. My dad got it new in 1960! i put the tires gently against the car! lol
 
Tonights work was a bear, driver side fender did not want to fit right! Three hours later all good. Next up, get the hood lovers on and she is ready to dance!

‘58-‘60 T-birds are my favorites! It’s great that you’ve had it in the family all this time!!..... Mark
 
Tom,
Unbelievable work you have done on the 36! I really enjoyed your pictures. Wait let me wipe the drool off the screen!
Looking forward to the finish and first ride shots.
Regards,
Chris
 
I have a couple of videos of the exhaust and engine running but not sure how to post those? Anyway, this is a picture of me with the car in 1977, the day we drove her home. Just an 18 year old kid with long hair...now mostly gray! :eek:
