That is what I'm trying for. The RX-7 debut at Tim's house.

The wheel well molding went on after I took these pics. The alignment is scheduled for this morning.

These parts came in yesterday.

Wheel well molding is on and door edge guard. I also waxed the car with an overspray remover. Alignment is also done.

What is left to do:

-final alignment of front panels and installation of under tray
-assemble and paint rear louvers
-wheel polish
-windshield molding install
-pinstriping
-finish install of emblems, stickers, etc (I will be doing)
-paint metal sunroof
-detail engine compartment and interior

Once the car is done with paint:
-new tires
-replace carpet (have in garage)
-driver's seat repair (sometime this year)

I'm hoping to get most of this done today.
