It's gonna be a while till I have an update that has big changes.
In the meantime, boxes are flying to the door on a regular basis.

Today, 4 Speed Fish & FYI Cuda came over.

We all worked on my Cuda figuring out a few issues why the P/S door wouldn't sit flush and the quarter window regulator system. Had a great time time today w/them and really appreciated the help.
