Graduate 9160
Never got around to posting a build thread, don't know how those who did found the time! Kudos to you.
Finished Car 1.jpgFinished Car 2.jpg
Building the car was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. There were a lot of ups and downs, mostly ups, and the downs were most always fixed here on the forum, thank you forum members.

I miss the build but the result is more than I had hoped for, thank you Factory Five.
