Wow!....amazing job.......ahhhhh.....I guess I better get to work on my car:rolleyes: :D

I have collected a few parts though!!:D

Congrats... 99 % done and all I can say is WOW !

hey....you'll have to give us some driving impressionswhen you get it all up and running......power, handling, ride, noise level, A/C performance......how it compares to other cars you have driven

They took the car to the paint shop yesterday afternoon so it could get the final buffing today. Here is the update I got yesterday from the shop owner (restoration shop, not the paint shop owner).

I have put about 100 miles on the car and in driving it up to the paint shop I got to test the handling on one of my favorite big sweeping 2 lane ramp that makes a 270 degree constant rate turn off of 202 on to 422. Now my XLR, which is based on a Corvette chassis, I can get around the ramp at 48 mph on a good day ---holy ******-- the Camaro did it today at a little over 55 and it just didn’t care--no push, no tail wiggle, no nothing, it just went around the ramp like a slot car—it could have easily done it at 60mph. Now I was being very careful and knew it could easily match the XLR’s speed but this thing makes my XLR look like a station wagon!

Ride is comfortable, A/C works great. New Hurst Shift handle is in place and looks great and I think you will like the height.

When the car comes back I will take it to the interior people for the shift boot and then do some more driving.

Current issues – radio antenna has to be moved because of poor reception, dripping out of rear seal of differential- remove cover and re-seal with new gasket.

We are still on schedule to wrap up this project next week

I am proud to announce that it is now 100% finished!!! The car has just over 100 test miles on it now and all of the odds and ends have been wrapped up as well. I will be doing the final inspection this week and then the car will be coming home!
