Yes i am sitting around drooling right now. I will get started back next week when my buddy gets back from the race. I need to use his press to put the bushing back in. So it looks like i will have to hang out and drool all weekend.

Rear breaks are done. I havent had much time in the last 3 or 4 weeks to do anything but work. I hope to find the time soon to start engine build. The body is coming along great. The sheet metal work is almost done.
