Here is a pic of the rear coil installed. Step by step and someday it will be done. I can't wait to drive it again. It may feel like a totally different car, if it does I hope it is for the better.

Car is looking great and I'll bet you can't wait to get in her and drive as much as we can't wait to see her finished.

Exactly how much time did you spend polishing?

I'm envious.

The polishing really doesn't take that long with the right tools. Been polishing and learning for 20 years, still learning. 90% of polishing is sanding.

The hood is not painted yet.

I am really ready to have this project done.

Way too much yellow Sorry, kidding - I am so insanely jealous, and MY son-in-law better step up soon ... or I'm gonna need a new one. Beauty-mod and you are a lucky man to have such a supercar - bar none.

Kevin, looks great are you going to make it to Eskimo Joe's, I believe it was on the way home for there last year when you had the accident?

Can't wait to see it all.
