My Street 289 build

[Ivygreen65]

Things are progressing. I've been working pretty steadily on my car, but the one thing I underestimated when planning my build was the amount of mock-up, take apart, mock-up again, take apart, mock-up again, take apart, etc, etc, that would be involved. Part of it has been finding fit conflicts, part of it has been finding a better way to do something, and part of it has just been trying to bumble my way through how to do something. I'll post some pics in the near future to show where I'm at.

I hope everyone building a kit reads this.

Stacey, you're obviously doing it with the right attitude with your build, and what you're saying resonates with me too. I have just finished making the third version of what seemed like a simple bracket ..... I wasn't 100% happy with either of the first two I made, so kept telling myself that I would regret it if I accepted "almost there, but not really quite right".

You will end up with a car that you are really proud of.

Cheers!

My Dad always told me to “Do it right the third time or don’t do it”. That never made a lot of sense when I was 15, but as I have gotten older....
