Hi guys,

Not posted for a long while due to recently moving home and changing jobs.
No real updates on the Fury really except for fitting the front grille and headlight bezels back on the car in August.

These were the last photo's I took of the car back in October...

I'm not a 'cop car' kind of guy, but I have to say that this is one heck of a restoration project. It seemed most unlikely when you were first scouting around for a likely donor. The attention, hard work and cost simply have to be admired. :thumbright:
