In a sick way I was thinking the same thing. I have pretty much devoted the last 12 months of my life to this project. It will be weird to not think I need to get out to the garage and make progress! Guess I will need to paint the house and do hard work. Yuck!

That feeling is true. Following the Autorama and all the work getting the car ready for it I had a "now what" feeling! You start thinkin maybe I should look for another car! Honestly though these cars are never done as your always tweaking/fixing something on them.
I'll be working on a go-kart for the next few months to have in next years Autorama.
Had this thing since I was a kid. Dad painted it to match his car for the '85 Autorama. Been apart in their basement since prob '91-2? I tried to get it ready to be in the show this year but ran out of time working on the corner and I tried to get it ready to be in the show this year but ran out of time working on the Coronet. I'm adding working lights and painting it to match my real '96 GS Vette.

Ripped out my whole cooling system (which was brand new) and replacing the whole system right down to the hoses. The only thing not getting changed is the water pump! I will NEVER use bars leak again, NEVER!
I really didn't want to change out my heater core but that was a must, so while I was at it I figured everything must be replaced. That should take care of all my cooling issues.

All right gents the night before my 500's 49th birthday (it rolled of the assembly line March 23, 1968) I brought her to life.

Success, works better if you have more than 3 spark plug wires connected.... Blonde

I love seeing these babies come to life! It is sooo rewarding to put all the hard work in to then hear her run and breath again for the first time in forever!

AWESOME!!! The trademark Mopar starter trying to get her goin! I like the data screen in the car. Is that a temporary mount type thing or are you going to always have it in the car? I like seeing all the vitals!
