I've done everything to my project in my 2 car garage. I'll leave the paint to the experts at Autokraft, though.

i do all my own work , except paint and body(done it before but need so much room and the mess)I let a shop do that - or a buddy- thats why my car has been at shop for 2 years+ i have self build rear end and eng/trans waiting for him to get it done , after having a shop years ago tell me they would install a 350 in my camaro - and get a 327 that soon started using oil die to 1 bad piston/rings on 1 cylinder among other things they screwed up like putting wrong spark plugs in heads and a few other things I figured I could screw it up just as bad as they did for alot less money ! I am not a good mechanic but im still learning

now if i ever get my car back.....

I know the feeling

. I started to feel like a benched player on here, invested in the game but not part of it. Starting to get a little "game" time though

Just think, when you get your car back, you have a lot of stuff ready for it

I did everything that I had the experience and/or tools to do. Basically everything except for the painting, welding and transmission/rear axle rebuilding.

I have done and will continue to do everything on my car, except the paint and I did have the floorpans media blasted.
