I just found a few pics of the car when I was first starting and a progression of body and paint.

It's back on the ground on it's own wheels for the first time since I got it home from the body shop. It's only temporary though, I had to borrow the jack stands to get my coupe up in the air enough to work under it when I install it's 289 engine.
I'll put the fastback up in the air again when I'm done with the coupe so I can get back to work on it.

I ran into a problem with the subframe connectors and the fuel line. The stock 68 fuel line runs across the rear torque box but it hit the sub frame connectors. Simple fix...use a 69 fuel line instead. It crosses over farther back and gives me the clearance I need.

 The engine is running and I've figured out my hydraulic clutch problem so it's working now too. I'm starting on the interior so will hopefully have that finished soon. I'll add pics as it progresses.
