I installed the brake ducts and wheel well liners. I also made really good progress on the undercoat.

No updated pics.
The hood and cowl are painted. Last I saw (Friday) the wet sanding was about half way done.

I'm going to stop by and look at the car today.

It's looking good. I really can't wait to see the finished product.

Hood and cowl are done and installed. I also installed the headlights and passenger side lid. The driver's side lids had a small nick in the paint so it needs to be touched up.

I got the car washed and in the sun on friday. I took some pics.

I will get some updated pics this week with the hood and cowl on and hopefully the front bumper too. We should also have the black top of the door frames and the side mouldings painted this week. This will allow me to install the door/window seals and mirrors.
