Oh I still have it. I am now on my 3rd body guy and so far he is working out well. He is making some good progress so far, plus going back over some things. We are getting all the gaps set now then we will get it torn apart and he will get the fenders and bumper covers stripped and reworked for final mock up. The plan is to have the car painted by spring, then hopefully progress will pick up getting it assembled.
I know I am the only one on here that has had to swap body shops a few times to get the car done, right? LOL. Very frustrating, didn't expect this car to take this long when I started, but I know I'm not the first on that either. Plus all the 'added features' that have been added along the way
Here is how the car is currently setting.
Here is how tall the entire car is, I love this! Measured through the shifter hole.
I was going to run the Year One fender flares, but decided to flush mount and lower the stock 78 flares instead. Here is the rear one that is pretty much done. I'm really liking it so far. (they do actually sit against the body, just didn't have them bolted down for the pictures)
Also modified the stock door handles to look a little updated.
