    Bills coupe build

    I just recently bought a very nice 80% completed coupe build from another member in California. Hes done a beautiful job on getting it to where it is today. So my things to do are very minimal compared to other complete builds I've read on here. I have around 15-20 aluminum interior and exterior panels to finish fitting and install, finish up the wiring, add few other things to it. After it's all together need to get the coyote alumanator xs52 motor tuned and put some miles on. Currently only drove a very short distance in go kart form. Also need to title it and get it registered in Illinois. Hopefully that process isn't to difficult. Once completed I just plan on enjoying the car with my family and occasional autocross. Coming from Drag racing turning left and right will be different lol.
    I'll be starting at the front of the car towards the back. Completing each area when fitting and installing the remaining panels. I'll post pics along the way of my short journey to get my Daytona coupe completed. Anybody who has tips and things they wish they did different I'd like to hear them.
