House of Kolor is very nice paint indeed, but also very very expensive just for materials.

I think the bulk of the bodywork will be done this winter when its not so freakin hot.  Im going to try and have the old girl about 80% ready for paint over the winter. Im hoping to have the rest of the big things as far a mechanics and rims and rubber done come tax season. HOPEFULLY. So if all else fails, I can atleast drive a calico next summer. I have everything taken care of besides a new steering rack, rear shocks 4 extra lug nuts, prostars ,bumpsteer kit and some other odds n ends and final tuning. I cant wait to tear up town with this thing.

As far as progress goes I got my KYB's in today and adjusted my coilovers so they were matched. So far the nose is about 90% done.

Then I want to drive it and get all the little obnoxious problems fixed then shoot some primer, paint, and finish up any loose ends I have

The plan sounds good. I hope to start bodywork as soon as my son is back in school.

When you get this thing done it'd be cool if I could see it in person!  Ft Wayne is a little far to swing by and check out your progress though.

Youre tellin me! I didnt think there were to many us in Indiana. Theres only 2 fox tbirds and cougars that Im familiar with here. I started building this car because I dont see them around here. lol.

There are enough of us Hoosier guys on here that we could start our own club.  Trying to think of all the others besides us two: Gumby and Chuck in Indy, Dan down in Evansville, seems as though there are a couple more too.

Yeah I'd be down to see it 1st hand.  Maybe power tour will come through Indy again in the next few years and we could have a little fox bird/cougar meet!

I'm here too    :nono:

Ya, that would be cool for all of us to meet up. I'm pretty much done with the body work on mine. I just got to prime/block her out a few times then she'll be ready for paint.
