LOL, you felt depressed? Imagine letting that sit for a couple months and then coming back to it. It looked pretty bad and most of my family thought it was gonna end up in the scrap yard at that point. But it really wasn't too bad to put back together. Key word was patience. Thank you for the...
I sure wish that was the case with O ring. I did replace it hoping that would fix it along with the tranny pan gasket but no luck. It's definitely the seals. But like you mentioned, a good time for upgrades and repairs. I'm actually looking forward to it. Where would find a one piece drive shaft?

The compliments are greatly appreciated. I will pass them on to my buddy who is responsible for it looking so good. He is a perfectionist with his paint work. I've got a couple weeks worth of hours into the wet sanding and buffing but I've never enjoyed polishing a car so much...

Yes, I did buy new front and rear windows. The front one had a nasty long crack in it from a stone off a...
Thank you all for your input and observations. I realize that the look is pretty radical for those who are purist in nature and certainly isn't for everyone. So I'm always open to ideas and possible changes. The car isn't completely done and like any good hobby, probably never will be. On a...
Ahhh...the rear windows, interesting to get everyone's feedback on that. I can't give you a great reason for that. I hated the fact that they couldn't be opened. Also didn't care for all the chrome around them. We were after a unique look and being that the car was going to be black, it just...
