Looking great Mitch! Probably a relief to have that unexpected bump in the road finished.

There was a lot more to this project. I still had to weld the replacement cowl piece in and the dash top on.
  Steering column/instrument panel brace. It had 15 spot welds on it, but only THREE were holding. None of the rest penetrated. It's not going to fall off now..   All done and working on sanding the entire instrument panel for paint.

That was a couple weeks ago and I since removed the rear axle and springs assembly to clean and prep the new trunk floor for paint. THAT was a bear, laying on a creeper and getting as wet as the car. I still need to do finish grinding of welds in tight areas and sand them.
Soooo, I gave in and did what I said for 15 years I wasn't going to do with this car... Went out in the back shed and dug out the rotisserie...  I bought this from a guy who built it to restore a '69 Firebird. It came with these adapters for the rear spring mounts, so I thought this would be a quick knockdown from the arms I built for the '67 GTO and my '66 Chevelle.  I spent 3 HOURS trying to figure out how he had those rear arms on the lifts, because no mater how I arranged the drilled holes he made they would NOT line up...  I finally gave in and just drilled new holes for them to fit the car and moved on.  I have 6' rectangle tubes to fit on the forks for this stuff.

This was an interesting discovery, especially since I've had this driveshaft out for 3 engine/trans changes over the years. I never noticed this before...
