Did I mention it was 3/4's finished? I got the motor running and stuff, but as I go to clean it up and check things, I find stuff really wrong.
Plus, it was all painted(wrong color, close, but not quite), but they didn't paint the guage panel behind the steering wheel, stole my carb, and ran into the back of it with another car. Closed off a header pipe, installed the A/C though they weren't supposed and did it wrong, mounted the tranny wrong etc.
So, I did have it all stripped, blasted the subframe, rebuilt it with SS brakes, PST suspension, new inner fenders, all new glass, that one pane is now missing, they used a different master cylinder then came in the kit and it leaked eating the paint on the firewall.
So I'm almost starting over. But I figure, since it's been so long, I'll get it together, get familiar with the car, drive it for a summer and then redo the front end and redo anything I don't like. Most of it can be done without taking the car off the road for more than a week or two.
