Gets better and better! You must be feeling really good!

I'd love to be driving behind you. What a beautiful distraction that would be!

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am! Every time I fire her up, I have to get out of the car and look and listen to her from the back....She simply screams GTO to me....

And not to mention putting on her Torque Thrust D and her BFG Radial TA tires....THAT will be the icing on the cake.....

BFG's may look nice, but have as much grip as icing.

Kurt,
Wow! The car is beautiful especially with the new wheel/ tire combo! The hood adjustment is spot on and they are time consuming( hinge up is down adjustments). I did notice a garage heater in one of the photos and I am sure you have been using that the last few days.
Great work.

Thanks WC,
That heater has been a Godsend for the last couple of months! I appreciate your continuing support on my first ground up restoration. I've learned so much that I can apply to my future purchases!
Thanks again my friend!💙🙏💙

Default Final Polish

Just finished the final coat of Meguiar's Ultra Finishing Polish. This Restoration is now in the books after 27 months of life's precious learning...
Only thing to do is install my Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner. She has been back ordered since last October.
💙 Come on nice weather! I'm so Chompin' at the Bit! 💙🙏💙

Worked again Friday and Saturday on the gaps for the hood, both doors and the trunk lid!
A special thank--you goes to Evan Freese for his tips on aligning the hood! Thanks so much Evan! Your help is so appreciated. 💙🙏💙
What's left on "Blu"? Under hood decals, trunk decals and a few interior details to nail down!
