    #9503 Graduated!

    Still have a few things left on the punch list, but I reckon she’s fully graduated.
    Kit received January 2019
    First start September 2020
    Titled March 2021
    Painted September 2023
    It’s been a fun ride and wanted to thank all the mentors on here for their wisdom and encouragement. I truly couldn’t have done it without all your help. This has been such a supportive community and hope to pay it forward someday.
    Here’s a link to my build thread.

    I really like your interior color. So nice to see vs the usual black.

    Hey, congratulations, and I couldn't agree more on the fine look of that warm brown on the dash and tranny cover. It really matches well with everything else.

    It's also be great following along on the build thread as I close out my own build journey. Lastly ... have a great time driving it and enjoying all the rubber neckers.

    She’s a beauty! Very nice colour combo and the interior is snazzy too. Goes well with the colour.
