Here's the home stretch report from Coupe King: 

6/21 On the lift, scrubbed the pan and undercoated everything. Let it dry and begin the reassemble from the bottom up.

7/21 Motor and trans up and in, and custom AC bracket is made to mount late compressor to tii motor. Rear seats back from the trimmer and have the new side window gaskets that we'd been out of. Now to close the car up with glass and trim and install the interior. Then we make it run.

8/5 Motor runs...It's alive! It's alive!... Tii brakes in the front with new KYB's and ST springs. Bigger swaybars ordered. Header on and awaiting thermal coat and connection to a complete stainless exhaust system next week.

Hella lights and detailed horns.                                                             Redone vent assemblies and door glass installed.

New tii calipers... Tii struts, new rotors and calipers, SS brake lines. Need bleed the system and ready to go...and stop too.

Rear seat and door panels in place. Nice shot of the new carpet.   Rear speakers mounted and insulated. We will cover this area with speaker cloth and the speakers will be hidden entirely.

Big 'ol header. In place for fitting only. It will be modified when it returns from the muffler shop, and a thermal coat will finish it up. Important to minimize engine heat with the AC system nearby and the Texas sun overhead.
