Bill,
Can't wait to see it and hear it running. Plenty of good driving weather left. Enjoy every minute of it; it is well deserved.
Jim

Bill, it's absolutely beautiful and that's an understatement. The wait and all the heartbreak is well worth it. Can't wait for more pictures.

Is this the stuff to use to attach the nose and trunk COBRA emblems to the body?

Tried to install the transmission cover but none of the rivet holes line up. What would cause this? They lined up and we’re held with cleckos before going to paint last year. Hate to oblong the holes and risk ruining the cover and/or the rivets not holding securely

I was able to install the transmission cover with a combination of muscle and Re drilling the holes.
On another note, I installed the door panels, fuel filler, fuel splash guard, license plate holder, and side emblems. But it’s 98 deg in the garage and just too hot to continue
