Almost Done! (pics)
With one day to spare, the car is just about ready! I still have to install the sway bar that arrived today, and do a front end alignment since the springs have had time to settle. Just got back from about a 200 mile trip to get the pinstripe painted. Bad part of the trip, first time out with my new wheels and I lost a hub cap already!
I know it was on tight, it just decided to go a separate way. New one (and a spare) on the way overnight.
The stuff on the front is one bug, and the rest is reflection.
Here's Mike Shartel doing the stripe.
I checked my mileage for almost 200 miles on this trip, and hit wind, hills, traffic, etc but ran 65 most of the time and got about 34 mpg. The wind picked up on the way back and I may have had it slightly to my back, even tho I felt it pushing me sideways. Still can't complain!

Sorry about the picture size 
Right now the interior is grey, but I just got the Ebony seat covers from DONBB82 and plan on cusomizing them. I'm replacing the center panels on the seats and the front of the headrests with a dark red fabric
That along with painting a couple items inside, adding the new stereo, etc. That stuff will have to wait till after vacation.
