Well... they hauled of the sixer today (in Avatar). Enclosed trailer came by and took it off to the Upholstery shop. From there it goes to the body shop to be stripped and totally refinished.

All the seals came in from Rich at HPH (thanks Rich) last week.

Fender is on the way from Sam (thanks Sam) today.

I took it for one last "spirited" ride around the block before driving it up into the trailer. It's "bone-ass" stock and it's going to stay that way (I have the 74 GT project to "play" with) but I tell ya... there's nothing like the sound of a short stroke six screaming away at 6k 12" from the back of your head. The guy at the back of the trailer nearly fainted as I approached at around 40mph. He thought I was going to launch it in the back. But... the stock binders dropped it dead in it's tracks about 6" away from the door... what a f'n blast!

Can't wait until it's done so I can drive out to one of those damn get-ta-gethers and see all your ugly mugs in person!

You know I'll keep you posted on the rebuild.

Mine is not far from that position as well. No flares but it will be a screaming yellow zonker when done......I can't wait until Friday when I can pick it up.

Cool Eric. One of these days mine will roll off to the body shop for major surgery.

I'm glad I saw this post. made me remember that I forgot to send out the ball joint tool Monday. Now it will be Friday before I can get it out. But I will get home tomorrow and make sure I get it packed up.
