    Dave. Is all this attention to detail to your 95 car your subliminal way of saying the 95 car is indeed superior and the one worth dedicating time and expense to? Keep up the good work :).

    Thanks, Elliott. It's really one of the best methods to clean up parts - especially sand castings. :)

    I know it's sick, but my favorite pic is the one of that beautifully made box on the forklift. You did keep it didn't you?

    Haha!! Before moving in our new building, we had a cabinet shop next to us. They made that for me even in the new building as we are down the street but they have since closed their doors so now I don't have access to quick and cheap crates anymore....

    Yes, I'm keeping it but it's at Coach Trim now.

    Thanks, guys. I'm still super busy so have not put any recent time into the car. Hopefully that changes in the next few weeks :)

    Love the pics of the refinished parts! I have a bit of a parts/hardware fetish, but not in a sexual way...............

    Today I received replacement decals for the tire information and the VIN. I was able to get these through a dealer via FNA. I wanted them given I plan to do a bare metal respray of the car.

    The tire decal is 100% perfect just as the original. The VIN decal seems a slight bit different so I may replicate the original myself. Interesting to see they included a label for the steel name plate inside the door jam. That will be a nice addition to the record binder :)

    Photos with red are the originals on the car now.
