Dashboard

I have always liked the look of an engine turned panel but not the price needed to purchase one. I found a vinyl product that is a thin later of engine turned aluminum sandwiched between two layers of vinyl so you apply it like any vinyl sign material. Not too shabby.

First move under it's own power and body fitment

Today was garage cleaning day so I pushed the car out but didn't feel like pushing it back in ;)

Next we decided to try fit the body on for the first time

Vacation build

I discovered at the years half way point that I still had 25 vacation days left so it seemed like a good opportunity to take some time and play with the kids, do some sailing and put in some concentrated time on the coupe. First on the agenda was to have the drive shaft shortened from a little over 4 feet to 10 5/8 inches.

Next came a concentrated day of finishing the cockpit aluminum along with tidying up the rear harness and beginning the aluminum paneling of the hatch area. This gave the kids an opportunity to do their favorite task...riveting.
