Well, the car is finally finished. Thirteen months of blood, sweat and tears. I took it to my paint man last night to install the L88 hood and the repainted convertable top deck. He matched the paint perfectly. This guy is amazing with any classic or muscle car. We spent about two hours putting the latches and cables back on and installing pieces. everything fit perfect and looked great. When I drove it in the garage at 10:00 last night, I thought the wife was going to drop over. She loved the job we did on the car. I have mechanical talent and completely overhauled the car with the exception of the body and paint but I sure can rely on Mike to make the paint snap.

Congrats! I hope to get to the finish line myself some day.
Come on, we'll deal with the pics for now until you can replace them with some better ones.
