Car is done check it out!
After 1 year and a total frame on (and thats the only thing I didn't take off) restoration I'm finally done. All that is left is to work out some bugs and some warranty stuff on a few parts.

Extremely well done! We have probably spend about the same amount of money; so you have made me feel much better. Congrats!

Wow that was fast. I remember when you got the car. Good job. Make sure to let us know how the air works when the warm weather gets here. I might be interested in something like that since mine came with no AC.

I'd like to do a two tone on my interior with red and black. Not sure I'd have the same success as your's though.
