Looking great! I'm glad to see the project still moving along. Here's hoping it continues smoothly for you.

Here are some small updates. More to come soon.

The bumpers are flushed and the bolt holes are shaved.



All of the gaps on the sheetmetal are the same width. CFrom the hood, trunk, doors, and fenders have been welded to make them all identical.



The car is still ugly in the green primer but it's all straight! It's been pushed and pulled on enough and now it's time for sanding and priming.

The bodywork took much longer than expected. We hit a few bumps but now it's back on track.

This is the front bumper tucked. The front was 10 times more work than the rear! But well worth the effort.



Here a few of the body. This is about as straight as it's going to get. Its almost ready for paint.







The car is on the rotisserie right now getting everything seam-sealed, then the bottom and inside will be painted followed by the exterior.

Since the car almost has color on it, I will show the rendering. Kris Horton (Cars by Kris) did an awesome job with this. He turned my ideas into reality with his creative artwork. I highly recommend him!

Here is just a little teaser of the paint. The color turned out perfect. It looks different inside and outside according to the lighting. This was right after the clear was sprayed.

Will have more updates on assembly in the next couple of months. Hoping to have it running after the first of the year.
