Thanks everyone. A few more pics received from Glenn this afternoon. The level of detail is incredible. Can't wait to see the final product.

Sorry for the lapse in updates. I'm planning to head over to Glenn's a week from today and will post up some new pics when I return.

Stopped by the shop today to drop off some parts that Glenn is painting for my FD. Went up to his house and took some new pics of the Cosmo's latest status. Here's a teaser or two. More to come this weekend when we return from vacation. Detail is WAY over the top. Absolutely incredible, and a must see in person. BTW, Glenn mentioned that he's taking the car to Sevenstock this year whatever stage of completion it's in.

That Cosmo is lucky to have Glenn restoring it. You did well by introducing the owners of the Cosmo 110 to Glenn, that's for sure!

Back from vacation. More pics as promised. Note that all chrome trim pieces have been replated and are being reinstalled. The quality of the chrome is better than new.

Yes, good eye. It was missing the "M." The people that Glenn bought the car from had several boxes of NOS parts. I think the MAZDA emblems on the back were included with those parts.

You know it wouldnt be a bad idea for Glenn to make fiberglass or carbonfiber replicas of things like hoods, doors, stuff like that to have to sell incase someone need one for there car.

A few new pics of progress with more to come in the next few days. Just a reminder that Glenn will have the car in it's current state of completion at Sevenstock XI two weeks from this Saturday (Sept 27th). Check it out there!!

Most of the car will be complete, however the interior upholstery and other interior elements will still be unfinished. However Glenn is not going to let that get in the way of bringing her.

Guys... let me tell you. Every day that I get new pics from "The Master" I'm just blown away at the level of skill and detail that's going into making this a true piece of art and what I believe will be by far the Best 110s ever assembled.

Just look at what I received today. You have GOT to make it to Sevenstock to witness this creation. Truly amazing and beyond words.
