A momentous occasion

[GTA390]

After over 14 months of pulling parts of the Galaxie i am proud to announce that yesterday the 26th June at approx 2:30 pm the first nut and bolt was actually inserted and the first part was installed in what can only be descibed as a emotional time, for me anyway.

Send a copy of your post to your bank manager see if you get a bottle champagne in the mail.
When i started the resto on my Challenger it was all excitment, but soon found out that every bolt was like a nail in the credit card coffin.
Sorry to spoil your day but life in the resto game is a bitch.
Good luck with it and remember if you need help i am only a phone call away.
Cheers, Chris.

I replaced every nut /bolt and bush in the Monza planned ahead as  i had 3 years before i could get rego on it ........had a lot of fun restoring it .........however i did do everything myself to keep costs under control !

Yeh Joe real happy with the colour, well whats there at the moment, most of the car is in "Green Valley Racing Grey"
Once she is full colour will decide wether to add a stripe or 2, have a bit of another idea to break it up, mainly because its a big car witha lot of 1 colour.
The little 428 was going to be running 4 twin down draught Webers but have been advised by manufacturer that Webers don't like valve overlap, well i got plenty of that so the Webers are out, but not all bad, i am now looking at putting fuel injection on the little sucker.;if that fails screw it im going with a Paxton supercharger.
Diff is getting dropped of today to chage gearing and change to a lsd, once the suspension is put back on the frame goes back under and back to the panel guy.

I want to get this sucker on the road now :rub:
