			Thank you for the comments everyone and yes the gas cap is getting painted. I just had not done that yet as well as several other details as can be seen in the photos. It has definitely been a labor of love! <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: njsteve</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Until you drive it and give the suspension some real world travel up and down, it wont settle down to its correct right height. </div></div> The car recently went on a 1000 mile round trip trailer ride and it changed nothing. Not the same as driving but I would have expected it to settle some even in the trailer.

			That was gonna be my next suggestion. Was it strapped down by the rear axle and front lower A-arms, so the suspension could still move? |

			Yeah, you'd be surprised Bill.  Some have wrongly accused me of being self-serving in these situations.  I'm just misunderstood. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

			Rick, What %/gloss did you use on the tail panel? Not trying to stir up anything, I just happen to like what I see on this car. I know there's many schools of thought on this matter so PLEASE EVERYONE, let's not make this a soap-box issue. The car looks perfect and I'm just curious. Thanks!
