Earlier in the week we put the windshield on, visors on and wind-wings on:
Adjusted the windshield wipers and put various trim plates on too. Oh yeah, the doors are on and were a pain in the ass to align:
From the inside:
We attached the radiator aluminum to the body, hooked up the oil cooler below and put the hood on:
Hood still needs minor alignment, but looks good from any angle:
And it looks good closed too:
We have temporary plates so we can drive it down to the DMV for inspection:
A few minor things 'here-and-there' to work out, (brakes need to break-in, minor alignment on hood/trunk/doors, still misfires at low RPM if ya dump the clutch) but it's done.
We built a car!
Here's Dad bringing her back from the maiden voyage around the neighborhood (the sound on my camera just doesn't do it justice):Though the build portion of the car is done, I'll still post videos and pics here, so check back soon!
As an estimate, I think we put in closer to 700+ hours total build time and just over one year.
Thanks to everyone who helped and huge thanks to Factory Five for enabling our dream! It's been a hellofa ride building it, and now it's officially a hellofa ride! :)
