Just got a little more work done tonight, hopefully get some paint down in the bay tomorrow. Trying to decide if I should do a wire tuck or just get it back together so I can acutally drive my freaking car again, and get a photoshoot in with StevO before he leaves.

Car as it sits nowā¦
Trying to knock some of the dirt, oil, power steering, and brake fluid mixture off of the frame rail.
