I just read through the entire post for the first time and I want to commend you on your dedication to this car. You should be very proud of where this car has come from in the last couple of years. We all will be very happy for you when you are able to take this car on its maiden voyage, whenever it might be.

Good luck with the rest of the build and keep up the good work!

Teaser. Jason at Performance Automotive in Acworth sprayed the slats the body color then cleared all the lights. They look great!

With my daughter's HS graduation this weekend I don't think I'll get any time on the car until Monday. Then it is put together time!

One of those days ... Glad she's a project not my daily driver.

Got the tail lights installed, the side molding installed in the back then started cleaning the door glass. An hour and a half later I resorted to 'goo be gone' to get all the tar/oil/grease/WTF off the window. They are clean now.

Then went to install the window regulators to find that a 1" bolt to mount it (per the FORD manuals!) is way too long. By now my smell matched what you'd expect for 90 degree/90 % humidity in GA so no HD trip.

So I went to install the run channels. Took a long time but I figured it out. The found that I needed to install the thin molding around the window FIRST. So out it comes. Then I couldn't find the screw to mount the molding. Eventually found it (an hour later!) labelled correct in a bag, but the bag was in the engine parts box...

So I opened a beer, ate a hamburger, then took a shower. I'll pick up again next weekend.
