Always love chrome/shinny top or bottom. Sure it was good to get back home and get started again

Yes it was, the exhaust is really nice and it's all polished stainless steel. Made me be real conscious of how everything underneath the car is going to look.
Is been nice to start installing the interior for the last time. Dressed up the e-brake handle and driveshaft while I had them out. The exhaust lookd great against the black underneath, so I'm paying attention to how everything looks under the car. Also I can do all the mounts for the wiring etc now that I know where the exhaust is located. First bolt I installed for the drivers seat hit directly on the front exhaust mount bolt. Thank goodness I was drilling a 1/8 starter hole
That's going to be one slick ride. I'm living the dream vicariously through you. Maybe someday...though mine will be (necessarily) way more rattier. Keep the pics coming.

Thanks, the Ratrod scene is hot and I like them, I'm just into blingie.......
Been working on all the little details and mounting the side panels for a few days. I guess I need to accept I'm only a 5 or 6 at fiberglass work. My plan is to final fit the doors, hood, trunk, side panels, and top then remove them for primer. After any body work and primer they will all be mounted once last time to check fit and function, at which point the teardown and my attempt at painting will begin. I plan on building temporary spray booth in my garage.
Just doing miscellaneous stuff. Mounted the lights, they look cool. I guess you have to really decide whether or not you're gonna run the engine side panels all the time or not because disconnecting the headlight wiring would be a PITA. I've seen some clever ways around this but I'll just have to think about it for a while. I also think I'll attach the spacers inside the panels to the panels so at least aligned all the wiring, spacers, and mounting holes will be easier.
She looks so sinister with the top on. I had to grind a bunch just to get the roof semi-close to fitting. There's more to do before I even consider drilling the first hole. I took the roadster windshied apart to polish the frame. Eventually I'll have it chromed.
Looking good.
