Here it is. I am new here and have already noticed, and appriciated, the comments given about my car. I thought I would start a build thread about her to kind of catch everyone up! These pics are a few months old, but the car is currently under the knife again, just not sure when I will be able to post newer pics. (She is out of town)

The start:

Shaved the mouldings off the doors and had the holes closed up:

Next up was the suspension:

Then came the shoes!

Here is just the start, stay tuned for more, up next, the motor swap!
