Nice thing is, when it comes back from him I should be able to mount it and that will be the end of the hard stuff. (famous last words)

Man, that is gorgeous! I love that color! Judging from the first 5 or 6 pictures, it's a real "pussy magnet", too, isn't it?Jim

Thanks James. I am starting to like it more and more now that stuff is going on. I'm glad I decided against painting everything the orange, it might have been overpowering. But man I'm really starting to get excited about getting this thing on the road. Daytona should be no problem timewise this year. Dan has been working on his too, and has the floor pretty well along, so I'm going to make sure his makes it this year too.
BTW, how is yours coming??

Don, here comes the part I like so much, brake lines, fuel lines, and wiring harness. So I'm just a little weird, I know when I get to that point, it's not long before I'm driving.

Yep Brad, that's the part I don't mind either. At least it's relatively clean work compared to all the other stuff.
I'm kind of taking a break today, got the slicks dismounted this afternoon, so now I can prep and paint the rear wheels. Tie rod should be here some day this week, so I can paint them all at the same time, I hope.
But for the rest of today, I'm gonna kick back and watch Judge Judy.
