Hello Collin
I am glad everything worked out for you, and your car is very impressive. I hope you kept notes on how things went together with your project, as I will be starting to put mine together in a little while. I did not take it apart, so I will need some advice when I try to put it together
nice work
take care
Tom

Hi! Collin


The 63 looks great! It won't be long before the real enjoyment starts.

Thanks guys...henney any time you have a problem please let me know, I will get you the answer. In addition I am seriously considering writing a book on this whole ordeal...I have over 700 photographs of the entire process, and have pages of notes etc, I kept a diary...I think a new version of SUSIE Q is due, from the perspective of a person who did not have all the resources the editor of a wheel known car magazine had...from the perspective of a common joe....boy did I learn alot....

It looks great!

Personally my biggest problem when I get to that stage is rushing things to finish the car up so I can drive it.I cant explain what comes over me but all I can say is dont rush it.

That is exactly why I am taking today and Sunday off....going to walk away from it for a little while and regroup after last weeks marathon with installing the rear trim.... You got to stop yourself from rushing...seems like it goes against the American grain, the way we live, hurry up and get it done, but I have learned the hard way, the fast way is not always the most productive way...

I will let you guys know after next week when I plan to get back to work next week the final progress. Next week is the tedious work of front bumper alignment....UUUGGGHHH....
