Yes sir. I was hoping to find some good parts sources for trim etc. I've gotten no good bites yet. Oh yeah, back to the RH front fender deal. The guy from KC asked me when we got to his house if we got the RH front fender the guy had with car 1. I told him no, as the guy said he didn't have it. The KC guy said weird because he told me he had it and I figured this front clip would be a perfect fit because the RH fender is pretty rough. I messaged the guy with the 1st coupe and he finally agreed he had to have it some where and would look for it and we can have it if he can find it. I hope he comes up with it.

Colt will definitely have a lot of work to do. I told him he can go tinker on it when he has free time but I also told him it would be a good bit before we start major work on it. He definitely wants a V8 in it. I'm guessing a LS but who knows. He wants a manual trans too so we shall see. I was thinking a 4.8 LS and possibly I'd let him buy my chevy T5 from me. Hopefully he isn't like me and wanting to change his mind every other month.

Not much different than a lot of guys I see, including me! No matter how good of a plan I lay out for a build, somewhere along the lines it seems to take on a life of it's own. Then it's all over except for trying to keep the checkbook balanced

Great story, BTW. Looking forward to the rest of it.
