Just wow!

Look how good the paint match is between the doors and fenders, even though they weren't painted together. You weren't kidding!

I think a lot of the flack you caught for headlight covers will fall by the wayside once they see this. Didn't know you were going to paint them like that. Beautiful

At our shop just west of spruce meadows. And thanks everyone, I have been going hard on it for three months now. I'm really burnt out from it, but I'm happy.

Of course I'll drive it, once we show it a few times.

I enjoy building cars more than I actually enjoy driving them. That's the difference between a car builder and a guy who just owns one...different thrills.

I'll try and post some better photos later this week.
