Spent the last couple 18 hour days cleaning up 5 minute jobs. Belly pans fitted. Got the engine to bark. Trying to get body fastened on tomorrow. Still have more to do than time allows so we have to slow the clock.   :wink:

Down to the last couple days. Still lots to do. Tomorrow will be big. Had to raise the whole car up 1.5 inches. We allowed for it but it ain't on my list and it aint a 5 minute job. Imagine that. Got the body done and logos on. The guys at I Fab did an amazing job and certainly can be proud of their involvement. They have worked tirelessly to help get this thing done.

Almost  :cheers: time.   :-D

Well the engine runs, the wheels turn, the body is on, its in the trailer. Now the hard part. 1600 miles by truck and tech inspection. Seven years of work and 1000s of hours of friendship received that I can never pay back. The effort put in the last couple of weeks by people I didn't even know is overwhelming.
Stop and see us, tell the old man he looks good for his age (83), tell us what you like, what we did wrong, or how we could do better. I won't matter to me, I"ll just be happy to be there.

 :-D   :cheers:
