Wow, cross your fingers for me, this should be running next week, I'm nervous about it. Everything's come together, the windows were finally installed today, and the exhaust installed last week. All I have left to do is install the door parts, install the grille, and a couple of bumpers not ordered yet, tires and wheels. Oh wait

still need the upholstery that was ordered I don't know, 4 months ago, and the flooring is pending too. Can't count visors and that, too fun

That and I probably have to buy a battery just to get this running, the $400 Delco ordered 1.5 months ago isn't here yet, $600 perhaps just for a battery(s).

In the meantime I got my garage back. The things I accumulated for this project takes almost half again what was condensed in the first place, but I wrapped things up today.
