Well it been quite a while sense my last update. This is a good one. I got some great news from Mike at MCC yesterday. The car is close to being done. He had told me he would take care of me for the extra time he took doing the car, but this is way more than I expected. The car was supposed to get the EDP stripped and epoxy primed and undercoated. I didn't have the money to have Mike prep it for paint. So He's going to prep it for paint for me to make up for the extra time he's had it. When I get it back it will only need blocking and paint and the body will be done. Plus he said were square on what I owed him. I can't beleive it. He contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I needed the trans tunnel raised for the T 56. I asked him how much it would be to do it because I saw that Rich ( 67ragtp) needed the extra room.. He said he would take care of it. This will help me out so much.

Mario has offered to help me out with the materials to paint the car, I don't know how to thank him. It feels like this is finnaly going to come together.

Here are some pictures of my parts.

Thanks guys. I'm "gitty like a school girl" hearing that from Mike. I always try ot be patient . All of your builds helped a lot. I've learned a lot and changed the way I had planned to do things because of posts you guys have made. I'll probably be looking for more info when I get it back home.
