Hear is a picture from the other day... It has changed a little since then though.

I plan to make a narrated version when the car is finished. I just have a few details to take car of and it will be road worthy and have the numbers on it.

I really haven't had a good drive in it yet. All my drives so far have been to sort things out. Not too fun. We still have less than 100 miles on it and I was going to drive it a few miles today if we get a break from the rain and it drys out a little.

Allen, seems sorting out cars like this is just part of the deal. I drove mine in the neighborhood a couple of nights ago and didn't realize that my clutch fluid reservoir didn't clear my front tire at full swing....Rubbed a little hole in the very corner of it and by the time I got back, she was leaking like crazy. Put on a smaller reservoir and all good. When I checked the clearance before, it was with a different set of wheels and I just didn't check it again. Whoops!

I'm sure there will be all sorts of little things that I have to chase down. In the end, we'll be way more familiar with our cars... << the positive spin on things.

Your car looks awesome by the way!

Brent us correct! You'll get there. Enjoy every bit of it!

As has been said the economy is bad, but I think for the right person the car will still sell. No real hurry, it's paid for and I'm not broke. If I still have the car next summer you can bet I will try and get the wife back in it. Maybe we will keep trying to get her used to just sitting in a parked car and work our way up to a drive. Time will tell.
