Progress is progressing! It's...ALIIIIVE!! All electrics hooked up and everything worked on the first try with no issues. But fear not! There's so much more that will go wrong later!
 I'm redoing the steering wheel and more on that later. It's going a lot slower since this is the final time in doing it. Every connector gets shrink wrap to had the crimp, all the routing of the wires under the dash is neat and clean, and along the way a few re-engineering of a couple items takes more time to complete. But that's OK since it just makes for a better end product.  There was a recall on my correct Michelin X vintage radials so they are shipping out another set. That's going to delay things a bit. Seats and door panels are off at the upholstery shop and that will take some time. Last big things as of now are the convertible top, rear bumper, exhaust, and interior finishing along with the windshield. The last big item will be the hood and that'll go on after I get the engine running in case it needs anything. Much easier to work on sans a hood and I only want to put that on one more time. I need to start thinking of another project after this one! Hard to believe I'm almost done and it should be wrapped up this year I hope!  Cheers Dave

So, what's the new project? A new Space Shuttle? Restoring The Concorde? Retrieving and restoring the moon space buggy?

Now you know why BMW nearly went bankrupt producing that car...
 What happened to that fiberglass body you had to have and drug home a year, or so, ago ?? You could build a frame for that and conjure up a suitable drivetrain.

Ha! You guys are awesome!
 That body was sold, Mitch. Too many things wrong with it to warrant a nice build. What's next? I'm thinking something a little easier and think I'd like to build this: We'll see! More to come next week! Cheers Dave

----Awesome, Dave! Beemer looks great and a Cobra would be good if there weren't already so many. I absolutely know that yours would be one of the best, but you will have people asking you constantly if it's fiberglass, and dumb stuff like that. Parts are also too readily available for you to have it stand out like the BMW. Just a few random thoughts from an old fart....Bill S
