Default Build Video!!!

I got board today and since everyone likes the build threads, here's a build video of my car and the various stages it has been in. Long road and lots to learn but, it has been fun and life changing. Enjoy, I do it all myself with help from family and good friends!

You've got some serious work into your car. Your wife's probably jealous, thinking how sad it is that you know every curve and detail of that car more than her. I know mine is.

Firstly- Awesome to hear Chevelle in there. Love that band

There are 2 great pics of your son in there. Frame worthy.

Why can't someone like you live near me!?!? Looks like you know that car inside and out.

Really enjoyed the video. Best of luck with the car.
