BUT, when I see a beautiful car like this BEE, I have just a little more hope that it will get done. If it turns out as nice as looking as that, I'll be a happy camper. Car looks awesome and that red stripe looks great on the silver. Very nice. Joe 65 Barracuda 70 Challenger

The drive train, suspension and brakes are all in and the engine compartment, doorjams and trunk are finished, but the outside is still in primer and getting block sanded some more.
