The wifes first engine/trans install.

That look of terror! After a 1.5 yrs since this 1968 Delta 88 Hardtop was towed here after sitting in a campground for 20 years in Saginaw, MI. We put the rebuilt motor and transmission in. I bought a upholstery walking foot sewing machine and did the entire interior and headliner over the winter along with floor pans and new carpet. Dynamat everywhere., I painted it outside last week after what seemed like endless sanding. I simply could not have done it without the help of this site, thank you all.
