Hey all I just wanted to throw out a Big Thanks to numerous members who gave me info, pics of certain things, and helped me out with some smaller parts I was missing during this build. I am missing the hubcaps in the pics, but the car is essentially done other than a front end alignment and some hubcaps. I didn't wanna put them on until I drive it a bit and re-torque the wheels but I figured I'd post a pic or two on here as we are all into pics. Incase someones bored, I have a full build thread on the restoration area. From start to finish was just basically 3 years. Thanks again to all who helped along the way! Appreciate it bigtime!

Thanks man! My best advice is just keep plugging away and don't stop or you get burnt out and its hard to get moving on it again. Even if it's just painting a bracket or cleaning something, it keeps the juices flowing and progress moving ahead.

Very nice job! You could have subtitled this "Words you are not likely to hear coming out of Fesser's mouth for a long time."

I’m going off a percentage basis and at this point it’s 99.9% done and 100% done draining my wallet ha! And it’s 2023 and today it identifies as part A12 car hehe.
