Week 29 Progress (WOW, it is looking Great!)
WOW, week 29 and we can see light at the end of the tunnel. We got the interior mostly complete this week and I finished up the installation of all the A/C duct work.
I also lowered the front suspension a another inch to get the stance looking better with all of the weight on the car and I think we finally nailed the final stance.
My rebuilt carburetors were shipped on Friday and should be in early this week and that is the last thing I need before initial fire up. We plan on completing the plug wires and carb installation this week with a fire up for late in the week. We will be working on the final front end alignment and buttoning up the interior early this week and if all goes well we will be on the road this weekend.

Looking More Like A Car!
We finally got all of the body parts back on the car so it is looking more like a real car now.
Making a little more progress!
We made a little more progress on the assembly, had to send the cars off for a rebuild but they should only be gone for a week.
Pink Floyd has Glass
Now that the windshield is installed it is really starting to look like a car again!

Pink Floyd Week 26
We made really good progress this week. We tackled some of the harder items this week such as the dash pad installation and the windshield frame Assembly. I also finished up all of the electrical wiring and completed the cluster and dash insert installation.
You will note in several of the pictures I am contorting under the dash trying to install a few items. Also we finally got a few shots of the guard dogs helping out in the shop, not too much guarding, more waiting for milk bones 🙂

Pink Floyd Gets Some Teeth

Pink Floyd Week 25 (Look mom, no teeth)
This is a typical TN car, no teeth 🙂 Ok the grille teeth have not been installed yet but Pink Floyd will soon have teeth again.
We finally got the chrome back from being redone so we made a bunch of progress getting trim and bumpers re-installed. I also completed 99% of the wiring, just a few items to button up once the new dash pad gets installed.
The new black stayfast top arrived this week so once we get the windshield installed the to can go on.
The big job this week will installing a new dash pad, putting the windshield glass back in the frame and re-installing all of the door latches and window mechanisms. We also need to get the gas tank back in the car.
