Figured I'd start a thread on my build as well.  I've thoroughly enjoyed reading others' projects.  I'll update later tonight with more narration.

I also found an 81 ZXT engine donor for my 79.  I'm planning on doing a fair amount of engine work while it's still in the 81 chassis.  Once everything is dialed in I'll make the swap.

Again just alittle more progress.  Finished the rust repair on the bottom side.  Welded, seam sealed, and undercoated.

Well in 4 years since I last posted many things have changed.  Two kids, new house, and all the other things that occur in our mid 30s I've finally made some progress on the car.  For once in this five year project I can SEE the end and boy am I excited!
