    I had an exciting day today...I picked up the body and the rest of the car parts from the painter. It is really straight, shiny and BLACK BLACK BLACK!!!! All that blocking has paid off!!

    Small update: I was able to get the insulation installed, minus the trunk area. I put on the doors, and I found out that the cool stainless steel catches for my latches worked like crap...so I ended up using the orginals. Mounted the alternator and water pump. I hope to start wiring soon, I have a rebel wiring kit (9+3).
