Well it seem to have taken forever but i'm there. The exterior of my car is done with the exception of detailing and polishing the rims. Then its detail inside and were on the road. Here is one pic below of the finsihed item and a link to my slideshow that shows its journey.
Any comments would be appreciatted, good or bad.

Dude, you do nice work. Thanks for posting.

I wish I could show as much for more than twice as much time put into mine. Most of my work has been invisible unless you know where to look. Congrats!!!
