Thanks, but, I've seen a 100 point car. I even know a blind guy that built the only 100 point XKE. This is no 100 point car, though it'll probably take me 100 six-packs to build it. :beer:

True, 100 point cars are art on wheels and not something you actually drive (My Heavens!), but your level of effort & thoroughness isn't far off.
Now if there were two or three of you working on it.....
I wonder what the PB judges would do with a potential 100 point Series? Would they even have anyone qualified to judge it? LOL.......

Been slacking with the photos. Not really a whole lot to show anyway.
In the past week or so:
Seats installed. (yes, I sewed them myself. Sally.)
All the rear lights including an LED in the PTO whole.
All the floor boards painted and bolted in.
Lots of little fiddley bits taken care of.
I got the roof sides apart tonight and will be working on them and the roof for the next week. By next Friday I hope to have all that stuff painted and installed as well as the rear door painted and hung. We'll see!
I'll snap a couple quick picks in the morning for you.

what do you plan to do for the headliner? I did Rhinolining on the CrewCab, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it. I thought it would absorb sound, but I think it really just reflects it. I don't have any other headliner other than the RL.

I know I can do it, I've spend plenty of time 'primer,sand,primer, sand, primer sand, primer, sand then.... Paint..
I just don't have the time (and I suppose patience) these days, there really needs to be 32 hours in a day!
It's just looking great!
Well and I had to get the Wayne and Garth thing out of my head.....

Not on this thing. It's a Rover. 320, seal, paint.
But I've been there with the sand and block. The straightest car I ever did was a Camaro project I did the body and paint work on for Popular Mechanics. Hate to brag but that car was pretty nice.
