    somehow the time has just flown by...a *lot* has progressed with the car at Scott's place since my last post! it's pretty incredible to see how different dalmatian blue looks based on the lighting conditions.

    I'm doing a bunch of the reassembly myself, so the remaining punch list is relatively short before it's ready for transport back here!

    on my end, I've been busy in the garage finishing up some woodworking projects so there's enough room for the car when it comes back (finishing up these projects also helps maintain household happiness!). but I've also been accumulating a bunch of new stuff that will go on the car too: deep 6 Fuchs, new "quiet" dual out sport muffler, 100L fuel tank, and various other small things needed for reassembly. more to come soon!

    This color is "KILLER".
    Can't wait to see the car as more of it is put together.
    Great looking so far.

    I figured I should do *something* on the car today other than just look at it, so I popped in the tail lights

    many many thanks to Scott and his guys for all their hard work getting it to this point--it's literally a brand new car to me. now it's on to my work to get the rest of the car put back together so I can start driving it again! more to come soon.
