You Go! 
New motor, windshield & paint (plus some other goodies I'm sure).
Keep at it & show it off to the crowd as soon as you can.

Well folks, after a 6 day marathon of dry and wet sanding, body work, birdcage repair and new windshield and 9 coats of paint (2 black epoxy sealer, 5 1972 targa blue color and 2 clear) below is an idea of how it turned out.

All I can say is that it came out so much better than I had hoped that I am afraid to touch it!! My brother and his network of friends really came through!!

Wow! Nice work! You make it look a lot easier than I'm sure it was.
Congratulations!
