Well the time is come to say "I am finished". Picked her up on April 9th 2011, drove in gel-coat last summer and finished early this week. That makes 25 months of pretty much nonstop work. In fact this weekend I was able to do some yard work...woohoo. It has been a labour of love, frustration and hard work. I wouldn't have missed it for anything.

Here are a few pictures.

Well done Paul.
Sorry I missed you at the Wicked garage open house. People should know that you built this car in an improvised garage!

What did you end up with tire size? 295-50 R15 in the back?
