MY CAR IS DONE! (well, not quite under my standards...lol)

here are pics of my car. It has been a 5 month journey (on and off with my daughter in and out of hospital after heart surgery) but here goes!

be delicate with the critics....the car is built how I wanted... not period perfect, low on cash and TLC by myself...car has not left the house...everything from upholstery, bodywork, paint, everything at home...

hope you guys enjoy.

ps: will post pics of engine compartment tomorrow... got late on me and forgot to take some....

Don't have trunk lock yet, pass door panel not installed yet and gas pedal either... trunk lock and pedal ordering as soon as I finish posting!

thanks. Will post pics of engine, etc. soon; decided to put electric fans in and overflow bottle. didn't like the car runnning at 200 degrees. would like it at 190. also, installed electric gauges in car, waiting for the gas gauge though. thanks for looking!

here's some of the gauges installed. Now properly working. excuse the bad phone pics. I will post a video on my album for more detailed view. picked green color since the speedo color is green to give it a more uniform look.

btw...that "89" reading is actually 8G for 8 gallons...
Lo on oil gauge is b/c the engine is not on, therefore no oil pressure
74 is temp
10.7 is battery...again car off...been working on ensuring everything was correct...battery a little tired of being on without alternator of course...
