    I'm so close, yet so far from done.....
    I finally got a painter to commit to get my coupe done in a couple of weeks, so hopefully I can get the old coupe to the Roundup this year.
    I'm at the stage where everything is coming together, but I'm finding tons of little details to fix or do before I send it off for paint.
    Here are so of the latest pics.... or you can go to my album to see more.

    Make your list of needs and wants. Don't miss you goal by working on the want side. If you think it will be done soon, it won't, they never are. Work hard, meet your goal, and enjoy you work. That's a nice looking car you built!

    ...take a few minutes to sit down and jot down a list of everything you still need to do. ...then as you proceed, check off the things you do; it's very satisfying.
    Before long there won't be anything left to check off. Good luck.

    Looking good. Looks like need to make some adjustments inside, as that shifter hitting your nice seat could be a problem:rolleyes:.
    You're too close to quit, but I know how you feel. Seems the closer you get the longer it takes. Patience, patience, patience!

    QUICK HI JACK,
    My avatar may be too big? If so, can someone downsize or OK to delete if unable to downsize. Sorry, not 'puter savy.

    Looks pretty damn good so far to me. Keep up the good work and good luck with it. I am about in the same spot with my project - a lot done, but a long way to go. It seems like it should be so easy in the beginning, then about half way there you fully realize how truly hard it is going to be.

    Now, where the hell is that wrench I have misplaced 500 times and wasted so much time trying to find yet again? I just had the SOB!
