Thank you Johnny, yes it is and I am looking at being on the road and a trip down the track July 4th It sure takes time to do the upgrades I have been doing, miss driving her
 
Things in life can slow us down , loosing my brother to Cancer and staying and enjoying his last year with him was my # 1 concern.
I decided that while I was at it I should replace the drivers side floor pans front and rear, the rear is in and moving forward to the front.

Al the new floor pans are in and ready for seam sealer... I am trying to keep moving forward but life sure can get busy..

That's looking great Mike. Don't worry, compared to me, you are moving along at warp speed. You are going to have a great time with her when she is done.

No sir, I really don't think I will ever need the frame connectors but they are going in for safe , these Sedans are stronger then Coups and fast back cars

I can tell you first hand that the 2nd gen fastbacks are strong as hell...

I've been rear-ended at least 5 times in 3 different fastbacks and they all came out on the better end of the deal...
