Made a ton of progress on the car over the last few weeks. Waiting on the front side marker lights to come in along with the front lower spoiler and the radio from Ecklers, other than that the car is a done deal and ready to show off. I have an appointment next Thursday to get the car tuned and four wheel aligned. I will be posting a load of final pictures in a couple of weeks.

Thanks a ton Will, exactly what we are trying to accomplish, a 1981 Vette that looks and drives exactly like one fresh off the showroom floor.
