I love the creativy that has gone into this build! Especially like that you pushed the radiator forward. Keep up the great work!

Front and back bumpers are done.. started working on the trunk some more and mount the battery.. I started taking apart the front end to drop the engine in today..
Fixed a few paint touch up issues in the engine compartment. Bought a tilt engine hoist today and a.bunch of other stuff at harbor frieght.. lined up someone to come weld the tailpipe section of the exhaust that needs to go under the rear.

Paint is basically done.. just a few touch ups and adding the stripes to the bumpers..

Black cloth top was added.

Just needs wiring and plumbing.

It took me forever to get the body work right.. I ended up doing it myself.. then forever for the painter to get the paint and panel fit to our agreed standard.
