    Graduate 10495

    I have completed the build and passed the Texas safety and law enforcement inspections, so I consider my car complete (I have about four more weeks to get the paperwork approved by the state). Anyhow, many thanks to all the help from the folks on the forum, the collective knowledge and willingness to help complete strangers is remarkable. I do not think I could have worked my way through many issues without you all.
    Complete kit ordered June 2022, delivered October 31, 2022. BPE 347 delivered December 2022. Sent to painter August 1, 2023. Paint complete January 2024, car completed February 2024.pro-b3jDtC6b.jpegpro-CKFoULlx.jpegpro-cQs9n6kR.jpegpro-cTYim2SU.jpegpro-GyUHI4OQ.jpeg
