I have no idea,  i don't think putting a deadline on finishing would be a good idea.

   Are the pedals stock car pieces?

:iagree: being such a complicated build, you don't need the additional pressure of making certain deadlines. Do what you can when you can and do it right the first time. I won't speak for everyone else, but I will wait however long it takes for you to build this as it will be awesome when finished  :2thumbs: (but hurry up will ya  :smilielol:)
Make it idiot proof, and somebody will make a better idiot!

Went to mount the driveres seat   (late model Seabring conv) and discovered that the power seat motors are hitting the floor.  Both sides of the floor have a large hump that's under the seat.  I am still puzzled why this is were it is.  I thought it might be for the mufflers but after looking at other stock cars I see that the mufflers are mounted further back.    So after a few slices here an there I was ale to push down the floor a little over 2 inches.  The seat is now permanently mounted.

Sixty-eights look great and the '69 is fine.

Not much time to work on the car lately,  I bought an other house and am working on that.  the good news is that it has a garage that's twice as big as the one i currently have.    After I completely welded the pedal brackets in and re installed the pedal and linkage I decided to see how the dash fit.  To my suprise it fit fine

Any New updates?

No  haven't been able to work on it in a while,    I'm in the middle of moving and the new house is taking all my time.   The good news is that the new place has a garage twice the size as the one i currently have

I thought your current garage was pretty roomy, and the twin post hoist was sweet!

Then again, if you don't set goals...they never get done. :scratchchin:

Its been almost 2 1/2 years since I've given any updates,  finally the new house is done and the new shop is set up.  I was able to find a used Continental frame machine to use as a bench so the car can stay in one place now and is perfectly level.  Work to resume very soon
