Will this car ever be completed?
Of course it will. It has been a long time I know but everything is relative and it depends how you look at it. I don't think I've done anything different than a lot of guys on this board ... I know many of you have been hoarding parts for a long time ... I just started documenting things earlier.
A lot of thought has gone into this project. I could have rushed things and cut corners but I didn't want to. You have seem some of the pretty unique stuff that is going on this car. Some of these parts had to be special ordered, others were custom one-offs that had to be specially built. AND as always with projects of this nature there are problems and setbacks. Who would have guessed a GGSX rear ring gear wouldn't clear the LSD necessitating a rebuild not only of the rear diff but the whole gearbox as well !!!
Don't expect it to be done tomorrow but look at the progress Larry has made. I am as anxious as you to see these parts on their way (hopefully by next week) but once they arrive, progress should then be pretty swift.

It was damaged much as you would expect from showing up with the protection of one layer of cardboard.
