It'll be fun when it's done. I don't own a trailer, and I hate cleaning wheels. I'll probably get some interesting comments from the car show people, if I ever take it to a car show.

Sounds like my kind of car. You're doing good work, Matt. Keep it up, and good luck moving forward.

Great work Matt! I'm digging the mechanical look with the brace bars you have going.

It's okay I guess.... if that's what you're in to. :catfight:

I'm still making progress on the car, and still think its a possibility to get it finished before Dave gets BMF on the track, or Ron buys another car. One can hope, right? :lol:

I finished the underside. It has been seam sealed and undercoated. I also ran the fuel and brake lines, so there's a little less to do later.

I was just about to disassemble the front end of the car and get it ready to have the engine bay painted, but then I found something else to do...

I'll be finishing the odds and ends up tomorrow. Then I might start mocking up ideas for a rear spoiler. The rear body lines between the trunk and end cap pieces are a bit complex and tricky to work with, and if I can't make something that looks like a "could have been" part, I'll just leave it alone.

Thanks Al! You do something enough and you start to get a little better at it, I suppose. Learning to be patient was also key, and I still don't think I have the patience that your kids have!
