Done as of today. Will get insurance and plate Thursday. Sorry for inside pics but it's raining all day. I'll post more on my maiden (finished) voyage.

Took her out today (after going get plate and insurance). Nice little ride to show the painter and go to gym. Beautiful sunny day. Maybe I can get my little girl to take her first ride after her halloween party tomorrow. If she wants to come home with me, shell have to! lol

Not sure why the direct sun makes it look not as slick and shine as it really is. Maybe its the property of the color? I have to come up with a better way to mount the plate. Threw it on there to go ride today lol.

Congratulations! She looks great. Awesome colour! How long did it take you to build from delivery?

The only observation I'd make is that the quickjack mounts/extensions look about 1-1.5" too long.

PS....I'm not new here...I have made way more than one post (not sure why it shows that?)

A little over 2 years. Slowed by a divorce (not the cars fault lol) and building my shop. 330 hours in it total (yeah I kept track).

That's the factory length from FFR. They don't look that long in person but you're right. I think I'll add to my mod list to shorten those. I also want to find a long long stainless cap screw to use instead so maybe I'll do both at once.

What a great build. I had the opportunity to visit with Joey last Friday and take a look at his build. Everything about his build was well done. You could see this was his second car and he had been around the block before. He left off the details that he did the body work himself. Flawless. It is always interesting to see an immaculate garage also.
Joey is one of the good guys I have come into contact in my build. Looking forward to cruisin the bayous. Henry

The pleasure was all mine, Mr Henry.

If all goes well, insurance and plate tomorrow and drive it Thursday to my lil girls day care Halloween party. Maybe she'll wanna come home bad enough to finally ride in it. I'll bring her ear muffs and car seat just in case hehe
