It's definitely rough waiting but it's worth the wait. Mine is going to end up being gone 10 months probably. Not what I expected, but we did put the painted body back on the frame today and the wait is worth it.

After my car being at the painter for 3 months, I got an update on the progress. They have completed the initial blocking of the primer I had applied to the car. Not much progress for 3 months. Next they'll take off the doors, hood and trunk lid and primer with polyester high build primer. Then many rounds of blocking. Hopefully the the pace picks up but it's going to be awhile regardless.

I think it came from Finishline, and no, I had to do some modifications to it.  I had to clearance the back a bit due to the wheel bolt, and it is held in place with 3M double sided tape.  Crude but it works.

3+ years in the making.  Would have been quicker, but I'm building two other cars at the same time.  ADHD?  Possibly.  But it's done (as much as any project is ever "done"

I did a preliminary run and it drives wonderfully.  Still have to do the registration etc, and an alignment.  I did this slide show of the entire process.

Good job. Been following your videos of the build. Have you done your first drive yet?
