July 15, 201311 yr Author comment_427656 That is AWESOME to see how much good, unfilled, metal you have on you car! You should blow that photo up to poster size and frame it for your garage.The race to finish is still on Dan - but you having it at a shop is giving you an edge - although NOW I'm REALLY motivated!!! Think we're still on-target to meet up (with our Zeds) in Lloyd next summer??! Oh yah we are still on, but I might not be still living in Alberta by then, just a longer drive for me.

July 15, 201311 yr comment_427692 Oh yah we are still on, but I might not be still living in Alberta by then, just a longer drive for me. Of course we could just trade photo's here too - and if you're moving to PEI I definitely won't hold you to it!! !!

August 6, 201311 yr Author comment_429169 Motor is mostly done, a bunch of nuts and bolts to finish plating. Not quite to Diseazd's standards but I am happy with it.

August 25, 201311 yr Author comment_430447 While on a road trip, stopped by the autobody shop to check on the car progress. Coming along nicely. He told me it would take about a month when I gave him the car in the middle of May. Everyone warned me he would take much longer than what he estimated, but the work would be very good. Looks like them were correct on both counts.
