Great build thread Ryan! Thank you for sharing. You´ve really transformed that vehicle. I´m really impressed with you guys, who are doing the wiring on your own.

It's not a car club. it's really just a huge meet at a church in Wexford. They hold meets every week. They usually do a feature car. the 10th feature car is cobras, exotics, imports, and tuners

here's the link to their site:http://www.starlitecarcruise.com/schedule.html You can look it up on youtube too and see what kind of turn out they have.

I don't have a cell so I can't txt you :/ lol

Finishing up the rest of the rivets on the other 3 wheels today.....Figured it would be a good day to paint with it being super hot today....

I was suprised that the rivets were actually metal....I figured they would have been plastic...

I also had some leftover vinyl from when I did my interior wood trim pieces and decided to put it on the B pillar on the outside of door....Turned out pretty good imo..

Decided to install at least the front seat belts in Black....but on the drivers side the damn bolt snapped off in the hole................this made no sense to me as they are supposed to be super strong bolts....not sure what to do now.....gonna have to drill it out....is there a way to access it from underneath...might be able to grab on it from underneath and get it out...?
