jtbshaw is on a distinguished road
Even though we still have things to do, like paint/wrap/plasti-dip the exterior, some interior work, a few things to change in the engine bay (sensor locations), install the front tires, alignment, etc.... the car is to the point of going to the tuner today for some dyno time and get the Microtech straightened out. She cranks and runs but boy is she heavy in fuel. Hopefully the tuner can dial this in and we can begin driving the car on the street. I did notice, yesterday, as I took a short drive up our street that I am getting some noise from the differential (fresh Royal Purple gear oil back there even) and looks like I will have to swap out her transmission (glad I have a spare).

She's mostly finished, or she's at least to the point that we can begin to enjoy the car after the tuner is finished. We can continue to work on these other items while being able to take her out for an occasional spin.

The day we took her in:



6 years later and many changes later, this is how she sits today:
