Sport Coupe finished and on the road!!

Well...it's finally done...a few loose ends to tie up but she's running and driving great. Thanks to Koz, Buddy Palumbo,1oldrat, gearsforguts, Clark, fatabone, Eli, Kevin B, Craig D. and the rest of the eastern Pa crew for their help ......either with hands on help, parts, loaning of tools/equipment that I didn't have or words of encouragement.

Cool thing is that a year ago this body was left for dead...and now it's brought back to life.
