Assembly is finished!!

[Rebostar]

Today at 9am I installed the last part (the engine call out badges). So assembly is officaly finished! I received the kit March 1st of last year. It took me 10.5 months to build the car and engine. 6 hours a day 6 days a week for 10 months. Build specs and costs to follow.

The weather is crap here in Oregon today. This week is supposed to be dry and sunny. As soon as it is I will get the car out of the shop and into the sun for a few "glammer" shots, which I'll share!

I got my 57 Studebaker back from the sand blasters a few days ago. It is currently occupying the interior of my trailer. The first dry day will have it out of the trailer and into my paint booth. When that happens I'll get pics of the MK4 as I load it up for the trip to the DMV.

So at 9am I finished the assembly. At 9:15 am I started the "tweeking". I had to modify the pax seat attach plate to install it 2" rearward so the door latch handle wont hit the seat. I had the seat where it was most comfortable for the "chief". She's 5'-4".

Here a a few of the latest build pics.
