Luckily that art isn't coated so from the front you can definitely still see them. I like that you have to look for it though!

I definitely dont miss the CC bills. I think year before last and first part of last year I had a hell of a "push" to complete the car and hit the budget hard. Everyone that says, set a budget and plan to spend 2-3x that is entirely correct. Except in my case, with the duration of the project and me changing my mind and not keeping a strict budget, I overshot my original goal by 5-6x...

I still got some wrench turning but hopefully for now it's the cleaner kind that previously (ecu tuning, small things here and there). I've had my fill of the dirty work for now (on this car at least).
