Haven't had much time to work on my car lately with SEMA around the corner.

As for this car, I have a couple sets of new wheels coming, plans to pay a visit to Autofashion to let them wrap up this build, and potentially an audio system upgrade in the future.

Yeah, as with all my cars, I knew this build would take quite some time. The car is 100% driveable, in fact, I drive it every now and then when I take it off the battery tender just to cruise for a bit.

Maybe it's just me, but patience is the only way I know how to build a car. I so many trends coming and going, I just need to find time to pick what I want at the end of the day. May not be for everyone, but it works for me.

Brian, maybe you should snap a few pics instead of leaving us in the dark. I like to see it's current progress.

i'm glad to see a builder with some patience..most hurry and rush cutting corners..an the car loses out in the end..it'll be a pleasure to see this completed project (as if it'll ever be done) always a work in progress....

Nat, I'm just playing hard to get. My car is nowhere near as cool as yours, so you're not missing out on anything. I have a few more things coming in and a new set of wheels later this year. After all that maybe I'll put out.
