After 8 years, it's finally happening. The metal bits are coming back from the paint shop, and it's going together for real. Over the weekend I installed about 1200 rivets and I'm not done yet. Thank God for air riveters! The car is in my sig.

Great looking car...

I very much like the stainless rivets on the powder-coated panels. Screams 'hand-built' in the very best way

Beautiful job

WHOAH!

That is really, REALLY impressive!

Kurt, your attention to detail is second to none! What a beautiful car.

WOW WOW WEE WOW!
Car looks great! Even a professional spray job! Much better than the pickup bedliner spray I'm using .

BTW...do you have a method for getting started drilling on the round tubing? I'm about to start drilling holes in the round tubing parts of mine, and was just going to use a center punch and 4 lb sledge. It's an SOB trying to get started w/o moving the bit all over (Not to mention actually drilling through the .134 wall ).

Thick tape round where you are drilling or file a small flat with the edge of a file then pop it with a centrepunch.
