It is to be able to get behind the wheel and drive. After three years of work I have reached a point where I can drive my car again. Here is a link to the photos I have, let me know what you think.

It's beautiful! Are you "done"? I mean, are you at a point where you can drive it for awhile? There are only a few months good weather left, so I sure hope so.

Wow. That's amazing work. You're really setting a bar for the rest of us to try for.

Awesome

Looks great! You should be proud. I don't want to steal your thread but I have a couple of questions. What paint was used for the engine compartment (specific brand and code), I've asked here before but haven't gotten a good answer. Yours looks to be a satin black, am I correct?
Also who's hood did you use and are you happy with the fit?
Thanks for sharing!

Nice, you must be very happy. I can imagine the feeling of being where you are at in the project, I can't wait till I can feel the same. My project doesn't even have the car yet lol.

I used SEM Trim Black from a rattle can, it went on great and touches up really well. The hood is the original steel hood with a bolt on fiberglass scoop. I guess that is the reason it fits so well.

I love the GT350H! Beautiful car and awesome work!! Clones are the best because you can drive 'em.
That is setting the bar so high I can't even see it.

You must be on cloud nine. I'm afraid I can't even aspire to own a car like this. Great job. Fantastic engine bay. Sweet. Enjoy it.
