I went to the shop today to see where we stand and also to pick up and drop off some more parts. The tunnel and torque arm mount are nearly finished, the firewall is about half way done and the tubs and tin work in the rear have been started.

The very rear most panel has dzus fasteners in it the rest are riveted in. I will get some better pics this weekend as I'm heading to the shop Saturday. I have my fingers crossed that she may even be coming home this weekend. I'm kind of a picture junkie so I'm sure once it comes home their will be a bunch more. I have my paint and everything here so when it gets home it's full on paint and wiring.

Little bit more progress. The engine bay has been painted semi gloss black and i did the cage work in hammer tone silver. Patching a couple holes in the floor today and touching up a couple bars with paint. Then i will start on the wiring and carpet.
