Yeah, it's cool. I have so many people involved in this project from about 6 different states. I would say about half of them I found from Instagram. That's why I try to give a shout out to everyone involved. Maybe other people working on a project might want to contact them. Keep the small businesses in business!

Still plugging away on the body work. I've already talked about and posted pictures of the hundreds of hours we have getting all the gaps perfect on this car. We also have many many hours in getting the "seams" perfect on the car.

Here is the "seam" where the tail panel meets the quarter panel.

Might as well body work the inside of the trunk while we're at it. No enclosure or fancy covered panels. Roll bar will be painted satin black while the rest of te trunk will be spatter painted like original.

Just starting to work on the original stainless window trim. It is going to take quite some time to get every piece to fit like this one. Once it is perfect I will send it off to get fully polished.
