    Just installed all the exterior trim. Next weather strips and gaskets. Took it out for a couple mile drive. Checked out OK. Getting closer.

    Just put 110 miles on the car in the last week. Runs great. Had the muffler shop install a Waldron’s exhaust system I purchased. Four hours later and a bunch of $$$ but came out great. Still have a few gaskets more and a bunch of other items but the list is getting shorter.

    Quick update. Painted the wheels white. I think it’s a big improvement! New wheels and tires are for this winter. Not sure what we may do. Change to 5 lug or order custom wheels. For now drive the wheels off of it.

    Hi Ken,
    I assume that you are posting pics with your recent posts. They only show as [blockquote]BBCode you used is not allowed.[/blockquote] for me? Can you post in some other way? I would like to see them.
