Hey, I am so glad everything is in the works.  Being that I live so close I will EXPECT to see it in person as soon as possible.  Let me know if you need any help.

Mind if I ask what the original color was, noticed the maroon color on the cowl & door hinges, looks a bit like my E7, just curious, Rich.

Good luck on repairing those inner fenderwell housings; they don't repop those.  Don't know if they're 'vert-specific.

Might as well go MINITUB!
