What's in the box? So I started the engine and rear axle along with part of the back frame... the engine is just sitting there so I can paint it.

A big cup o' coffee, some prayers and some cursing... Well it's as good as its gonna be... distributors didn't like drilling so had to group the wires together and glue in a bigger hole... orange for the inside, red for the outside for easier identification. Does the body fit? Yes! Is it accurate directional location for the runs who knows but it's where it is gonna stay, ha, ha!!!

Your progress is great. A heads up for you though. When you get to the decaling part everything should lay out pretty easily for you except one. The large hood decal will be a pain. Unless you find strategic areas to cut the decal into smaller segments you will be hard pressed to get it to lay down across all of the hood contours without wrinkles still showing. Take your time and it should work out.

Got that front suspension together and the rear wheel to keep it down... used a white Gelly Roll pen on the tires! Tried the body on to see how it sits...

You are really out of your comfort zone. Well it doesn't look like it. Doing a great job. Really nice job on those ignition wires. What did you use to get the valve covers gold? They look awesome.
