I am pushing it big time. My Fc has been at the paint shop for month now but I got a lot done. All that's left to do is:

- E fan
- Headlight covers
- Cooling panel
- Buffing out all blemishes
-Detail the **** out of the interior!!!

Seems I've done nothing but sleep, go to work, and work on this car for weeks and weeks, and there's still a bunch of stuff I won't have time to do, though none of it is a gamestopper.

My final checklist at this point is wash, wax, vacuum, and adjust the rear brakes. If I have time, I'll try to shoot a little fresh black paint down around the strut tops, if I can get them clean enough without making a mess in the engine bay & without taking them out.

I decided to burn a vacation day tomorrow to do the final bits & rest up. Hope I don't get heatstroke - - it was farking hot yesterday. 105 at the house when I got home just after four.

Makes me wish I had time and funds tomorrow to the get the AC recharged.

Too true... It's like a checkpoint along the way to a destination that doesn't exist, called "finished."

Got parts for at least three projects that I can't start until after "showtime." Which now includes SSXII and JCCS.
