Great post and beautiful car. Appreciate the feedback on your experience - I need the inspiration to keep plugging away on mine. Like you, I did a lot of body work also. The body is definately top notch and heavily constructed but if you really want everything smooth and flat and all the gaps and panels to match up near perfect - your basically going to go through a couple gallons of filler and lots of quality hours with sandpaper. When doing all the build yourself, there are a lot of moments of frustration, lessons learned and wondering if its ever going to end - but overall I think it is the greatest reward.
