After searching for 3 months I finally found a buckle that is 90% close to the original one used on the luggage straps. I will of course save the original ones but it sure looks nice with the freshly plated ones. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Paul Newman was kind enough to help me with new shields for the ending bay as well as a sticker pack. Beautiful parts, I am excited to start assembly. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Almost ready for paint which is exciting. The motor was picked up last week and on its way to Arizona to be completely detailed out. Getting close to our August deadline. Kept the door latches in for alignment, we will remove them before paint. Also took delivery on a huge box of goodies from Eurospares to replace some of the aged parts.

the car was sealed and final painting has started. After a long internal debate I decided to go with Boxer trim as I feel it offsets the unique color Verde Germoglio well and adds a toughness to the car. The color has massive shift due to lighting. In the shade its a darker green whereas in direct sunlight it goes VERY hot, which I love. Im so anxious to start assembling the car once all the other parts are finished. Here is the color match, its really close to the original in the swatch book. Image Unavailable, Please Login
