Looks fantastic.   :2thumbs:

Just 2 things I would've done otherwise.

Put the headliner and dash in first before the glass.
Chrome headlight rings.   :2cents:

I think the attention to the details is great, but with all that hard work I would have chosen a factory colour. :2cents:

Summers here and this beauty is closer then ever, with a little luck I'll finish it before fall!
I have been working on it every chance I get, now just finishing wiring and then interior will be the final piece. Really trying to take my time when it comes to all these details, but it's difficult as the excitement of driving it is almost unbearable!  :ylsuper:
