I know how you feel but man is it worth it. You've got a one of a kind and when you're a worker that enjoys building stuff it's therapeutic in many ways. Great progress!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

It's pretty mind blowing what you've got going on here, brother.

Moral of the story is that some vendors are awful.  The trim doesn't fit and they sent me the wrong headlights, but I got the stuff over a year ago so there is no getting back from it.  So I ended up restoring my rotting ones.  This is as it sits:



I still have more to paint on the grille and I need to attach the light bezzels and bumper ( I need a new bumper but im going to de-license plate mine so Im not in a rush for that)

dash is done

got it driving and tuned the day of my cousins wedding, its first drive was a 60 mile round trip
then put the vette wheels on it


put about 240 miles on it this weekend with no issues other than a bad MAP sensor that's for an N/A motor and wont read boost, so I had a light foot for all of my driving
