Yup, all myself so far, and all there in the parking lot behind my apartment. I was gonna have a friend do some welding, but instead he gave me his wire-feed and the instructions That Probe GT parked next to it is my tool box/paint booth/storage/parts getter/radio etc etc etc.

By the way, this project started out as "Replace the carpets and adjust the headlights", and snowballed from there.....

Looks like you did a great job Star79! And, yep, you went a tad further than carpets and headlights.
Keep us posted on any other tasks. Fine lookin' Vette!
