Really feels great to see your project turn the corner. 2 years of looking and driving this beast to finally see it come full circle alarmist makes all the work worth it! Just a few more weeks and it will be show worthy!

Now you have to deal with perfect paint, but it really is nice. Be good to it.

That was ugly. Those doors must have taken some work. Who painted it a local body shop, or a friend.

Local body that I know the owner of so he really took care of the car. It’s came a long long long way from June of 2020 when I bought it.

Yes, I did keep the the cheese graters. As ugly as they are they are the oem and I actually don’t mind them. I’m going with smoked head and fog lamps with a smoked running horse cobra grill. I almost bought the smoked LX tail lights but can’t do it. Yeah started out as a “cheap” product with a Gt40 build and now I’m here lol. I hope it’s worth close to 20k now. Between buying and shipping the car plus my upgrades I’m at around 13-14k. Looking back part of my wishes I would have bought the nicest most original car I could have for the money

Man, that blue looks awesome! I have my '86 in for paint, but it's going back silver similar to original. How tall is your cowl hood?
