Haha it's pretty rough, right? Hopefully by the end of this we can give people a good look at how if you have a few tools, you can do basic floor work, too. Ours won't be very pretty, but it'll be functional and that's first priority.

Sorry everyone, work on it has been slow. We're pretty much halfway done with floors, but are stuck on it financially. We're waiting on more donations so that we can keep going.


Thanks for keeping up! 


Woo, TCL coming through again! Another anonymous donation that will hopefully get us enough to have a wheel and tire setup.  


We're pretty excited to be almost halfway to our $600 goal. If you have some income tax money you wanna let go of, you can donate here: http://apps.facebook.com/fundrazr/ac...24c19e7b4d7593


Thanks again, everyone!

wow, it has been a while since a real update. I'm going back to school and Claude has been really busy with the band. 


So, although I don't have any pictures to show for it, we made a tiny bit of progress today, in almost getting the rest of the flooring out of the Imperial. Hopefully about another hour's worth of cutting and we'll have it out. After that we have a transmission line to replace, and brake lines to bend and put in place before new floors go in.

I remember watching this car come together, such classic lines.
