I've decided to deviate from what seems to be the norm and NOT get too detailed about my build. Especially the non-custom parts. There are a ton of build journals out there that go into fine detail about installing each bolt of the footbox, etc and I dont think we need more of that. I certainly dont want to do it. So Ill just post a few blogs showing my general progress as we go along. As I get to electrical and interior stuff where I start in with customizing my car ...

Well, once again I took the summer off from the build. Just too hot. Also I had some money constraints..European vacations and legal bills can do that :-)

Things Settled down eventually and I got back to work. The weather was still a little hot until just recently. Even working in the shade of the garage, you still sweat like a pig when its 105 outside.


We dry fit the body today.
