I managed to take the car out for a 2 hour trip to see if anything was loose. The clamp screw which holds the steering column landed in my lap after about 20 minutes. I also noticed when I sit at a light the temp gauge goes up to 190 but it was a 100 plus temp outside. I have the side flags, antenna, side panels and console to do. I plan on writing up a page on if you ever plan to do this yourself for the guys who are thinking about redoing thier C2.

Love the idea of you writing up a page or so. In the middle of a frame off and will need to do that. Hopefully this summer.

Over runs ? You mean it's going to cost more ?
Good thing I left that door open. lol
I read somewhere on here that it's going to be about 3x as much.
Good thing I only figured for $100.00.

Thank you !

Reminds me (not in a bad way) of the Johnny Cash song "One Piece at a Time."

But the pieces fit, and what matters is what you like. Nice job

its really rally red. When you take a pic it looks like riverside red. At dusk or night it really pops. I'm very pleased with the way it came out. Many thanks to Vic, Gabe and Russ.
