Hi TC -
I noticed the front trunk floor is uncut. Are you something different for the oil cooler?
Good pick-up. I'm not a big fan of the big gaping hole in the pan, so I'm either going to do reverse scallops or a series of round holes for air exit.
Looking good!
Who will finish their car first???
Just a little friendly motivation.

Here's a Custom protective plate so the Brass Oil-Lines don't get dinged by rocks in the wheel-well

NICE! A great idea!
TC, is this a street car or track?
T.C.,
Nice build.......going to look great.
Since you mentioned a shield for the oil lines, have you thought about anything to protect the underside of the flares? Are you undercoating the underside of the flares to protect them? Someone mentioned this to me some time back that it was a good idea on flared fenders with no liners.
Going to be beautiful!!!! Again!

Probably an A/X car at the most. It is going to be too nice to beat it up at Sebring.

That car looks fantastic. What size wheels are those in the rear?
Looking good. Maybe I'll stop by tomorrow to see it as well. When do you pick it up? Just trying to figure out how long it will stay unassembled in your garage once you get it home...

15x8s with 245/50/15 Skins

I'm free the next weekend T.C. It will look nice on my trailer.

Glad to see her home safe and sound. It really has been fun watching this tranformation take place...can't wait to go for a ride...it will soon become a beast with your fresh motor plugged in!! Congrats TC
Christmas in April. I think TC was sorta in shock when we got there and saw it. We turned into the parking lot and it just glowed. Whata sight to behold.
TC. Absolutley Beautiful Build.
Wow! Signal orange sure is beautiful colour! Allways loved it. 
Good luck with rest of project!

Looking excellent, TC! Attention to detail is it's own reward. That, and watching others drool in envy.

I wish I could but I will give this advice, have a sawzall ready for anything that gets in your way
. I still remember you cutting my moving dolly with that sawzall to install my engine what a hoot ! You going to have it ready for Petit ?
Congrats, T.C.
The car looks gorgeous . . and to think how it started out! Absolutely one of the all time great saves!

Reading from the beginning, around post 47 when it went into the paint shop...then life changed, the economy changed....what a ride.
Congrats for squeaking by and keeping this project headed in the right direction...
Boy way URY close on his prediction (post 50ish) on when it would come back from the booth....just a year late.
At this point, its kinda pointless to ask because the car will have 30k invested in it by the time your done...but I will ask anyways.
What is the back story on this car and what did you pay for it (and all the parts etc...)
