good to see continuing progress. unusual to list for sale when not done, but when it happens, most people just let the dust pile up. dunno if it will ever be worth what you have in it, but it gets closer every day...providing you aren't billing yourself at shop rates for your own labor!

I've sold three non-Corvette race cars. Median sales time was 1.5 years at giveaway prices. I definitely feel his pain.

Is this car in Dubuque? I grew up in St Donatus.

I have looked at the car at fatslane. Personally I would pass. 435 convertibles bring considerably more than coupes do.........
