It is good sometimes not to have a dead line as it can take the fun out of it. Good to hear you are finding some time to work on it. Looking forward to see the progress pictures. Keep at her.

Hello folks and friends ,so i lost interest in my 67 Acadian SD and put it on the back burner for awhile .In the mean time i sold a few of my other projects that i knew i would never finish(cash is now plentiful.lol).I did start a new one ,LOL a 1969 Bronco Sport with 1975 running gear it will be finished and i will be driving it in the next month.The real reason why im posting now is that this morning i started on it again (67 Acadian ) ,i worked 8 hours on it today and will work an other 8 hours on it tomorrow .I think what lite the fire was i found the pair of 67 bucket seats i needed to finish the car so I WILL.My goal is to have it finished and driving it by July 1st of this summer .I will post pics next Sun as by then i will have got a lot done .Cheers Jimmy

Keep at it Jimmy so you can really enjoy it by sitting behind the wheel and driving it! Sounds like your getting close now!

Good to hear you were able to locate a pair of those seats, great step in getting her done. I had been looking for you but they just don't show up very often.
