Michael is my name been working on my 72 Custom with my dad for a yr this coming weekend. It was not running very well but could here it turn over. The interior was not installed but came with %90 to put it together. It was badged with SS emblems. Vin is A Wcode 454 car but does not have the original #s matching block. The paint code is 14/14 which I believe is a Pewter/Pewter no vinyl car. Dad and I have installed complete 4wheel disc brakes from CPP all new inner outer tierods, Stainless brake lines, Tubular upper lower control arms front,  2" drop front springs, 2" drop shocks upfront,  new gas tank, rear air Shocks and springs with 1.5" spacers, 12 bolt with a Spartan locker, t400 tranny. Shooting for Carlisle and hope to see so many of these great cars

Welcome! Looking good. I highly recommend going to the Carlisle even if your car is not ready. It is a great time. I flew out there for the meet in 2018 from Western Canada and had a great time.

Thanks guys I travel for work...Dad and I have worked diligently every Sat. Mom would usually bring us some sandwiches and a snack around 1 or 2 for us. Working on gravel and a harbor Freight garage. Getting the car into a body shop for vinyl top damage so I can get the interior put in the car. It leaks and I don't want to get the carpet and sail panels wet. Looking to do upper, lower rear control arms, rear sway bar and traction bars by June.

I have had two different canvas garages in the last three years and they all rotted in less than 18 months. Looking to get one of those aluminum/steel carports for a longer lasting temporary garage

This one is a year old will probably make this year too. I have a spare top from a buddies whose fell over and bent tubes but canvas is good. Unfortunately I have upgraded to Hagerty Insurance and they dont allow me to have the car stored in it anymore so now she sits under car cover haaaaa...

I've seen them used for paint booths too, must be a little chilly working in there though but better than working outside.

It blocks the wind ... it's not fancy by no means it works 4 now I suppose
