Got the motor running and all dialed in, cleaned out the interior and made up a nice list of things to do for it.

The project is mostly interior, exterior, brakes and suspension as of now. Then after that, I am going to get myself into some even bigger projects that will make the car go just all the more faster. All I have left to get for the motor is a K&N air filter, FlameThrower coil and ngk wires.

" this is what livin, lovin "

Was that not part of a Lead Zeppelin song from years gone by. I will agree that cars whatever they are will provide the owner with a lot of enjoyment and also take your mind off other things.

The car in question is a repaint. Will you be paint the car back to original or are you refreshing it for a daily driver Red Dog?

I am going to do a repaint, but not the original color. If the original color was anything other then that mustard yellow, I would have it painted the original color, but I really do not like that mustard yellow at all. I am thinking either black or a dark gray color.

Its not going to be the daily driver, but it will be the weekend car and the special occasion weekday car.

Because of it just being a weekend car, at first painting it was one of the last priorities, and for me to just freshen up the paint instead, but the paint is really in bad condition. Chipped in a few places, prime and the original color showing in spots, scratches everywhere, and the paint even runs in a few places. Because of this I have put getting a good paint job up near the top of the list.
