I've been away for a while but thought I would share an update as to where I'm at in my build I started this in October of 24. I told myself I'm in no hurry enjoy the process well here it is today . Oh am I geting excited about putting it on the road, but still along way to go.
I going to drive it in gelcoat for the summer as soon as I get it registered very soon. Then paint this winter. Here are some pics as it is now. Oh and thanks Jeff for all the advice on how to get the doors fit and gapped they are smooth as glass closing.

K136 Midnight is brandywine kandy mixed with a blue pearl, creating a purple-red color where the blue pearl will come out in the light and the color flops to almost black in the shadow.

I'm doing all the bodywork then a good friend of mine that has painted many custom cars and Classics that show well in our local car events offered to help me out of course it diffently comes with a cost but I've seen his work and I feel it's worth it.
