 I called Real Deal Steel today to check on my new 69 Firebird body, they said there are two Camaros ahead of me so it should be done the first week of May. I have a guy coming to talk about him buying or helping me with selling a few 750 Honda's, I'm thinking 5 or 6 need new homes to make room for this project and maybe pay for the engine.

Hey Don...was not familiar with RDS, interesting website.  Was your body so rusted that this was the best option for a new body?

We we restore our '69 GTO, many panels had severe rust and I just purchased aftermarket body panels as needed [my painter had a local contact]

Cranked up the '69 Mustang, needed a little starting fluid but then started right up and sounded good.  Took a nice drive, it is handling better now with the rebuilt steering box and ram and at 70mph it's no longer screaming thanks to a reduction in gearing [2.65:1]. Going to clean it up for a big car show next weekend...
