    Congrats KM! I'm in the middle of my build and am enjoying most of it (wiring is driving me nuts). A 25th Anniv is on the way to a guy here in Las Vegas. I love the bronze color!

    I received my Brakes yesterday for my Kit. Done the inventory on it. I did not see the safety wire for the hat screw. Wi guess I would have to purchase separate, anyone know?

    Yea, you have to buy the safety wire separate if you want to do it. I thought it came with it too.

    Going Slow now. doing Body work, fitting hood, trunk and doors. Taking my time Looking at the videos that were just put out by FFR on fitting the these items several times. Kind of nerve racking. Don't want to mess up. I was hoping by now i had the $$ for drivetrain but with the Oilfield falling out and this Coronavirus thing.

    HOw about your build?

    stuck on the IRS waiting for a few critical parts, but moving forward with other items that won't get in the way... plenty to do, and my drive home is about 14 steps downstairs now LOL
    agreed on the drivetrain... it will be a few months to recover from this financial snafu
