Well, after about one month shy of 2 years, she is finally resting in her own garage tonight.  :woohoo:
I am very pleased with the job and now the puzzle project begins.

Well, that is my goal, to have it done for summer 2013 with the shakedown cruise being our show last weekend in June.
As far as the color, I was never a fan of the 73 red,  Too much orange and brown in it.  I remember sitting in a paking lot under florecent lights and it looking brown to me on occasion. That is why I went with the deeper red of P1. It's a really long story on why I decided to change the color.

I have been following your progress. You will have this car running sooner than later. I practically lived in the garage once I started putting everything back together. I suspect you will want to do the same. Nice work.

P.S. Thanks for the tip about Bill Balzer (battery cable). Ray
