I am here with the US Navy I work in the aircraft no ships for me, We are working with a bunch of our allies its a big training exercise thing. Two weeks paid vacation lol, and we broke the plane yesterday so no flying as of yet

[Minuki]

Anyway, this is looking great! Love these builds. Keep it up dude

[LaMaR-]

Thanks man I cant wait to get back and buy parts Ive been on these forums almost a year now always browse and never post lol

[Zic]

i enjoy! keep it up man

Alright now thats where I am at. I got deployed April 2nd to Scotland for a couple weeks, When I get back plans are to order the cage and hopefully the kit for the car so I can finish the exterior and interior and get it painted. Then the car will have small work done until I return from my next deployment in December where I will be gone for 6 months. Upon return from that one I will order Coilovers, wheels, the engine and tranny mounts, and o yea the engine. Plus other stuff. O by the way im putting a LS1 in her. I know this is different then most builds on here but figured you guys might enjoy...

Edged out the passengers side door, waiting to dry and then putting it back on the car. Then the drivers door. After that I will start working on the exterior of the doors, then a small dent in the rear still. When this is done I have to weld up the antenna hole, rear hatch key hole, and the emblem holes. Finish bodywork, hopefully i can be done with this by april 1st because I am leaving to scotland for 2 weeks, come back hopefully with a pocket of cash so I can order the widebody and the kit I want. If so then I will be ready for paint shortly...

and figured out the mounting for the drivers seat, trying to debate the passenger seating Right now its unlevel because of how it mounts in the car, might have to build my own mounts for them to make them level

Also picked up these babies in Argyle for 150 bucks for the set.. Not yet bolted in
