I kind of hate to jinx it but it looks like it might actually happen this time. It goes in for paint (again) this week then gets inspected May 22.
Old Man Ohio, If you haven't already done it, schedule your inspection appointment soon. May 22 was the earliest I could get a couple of weeks ago when I scheduled mine.
I will drop the engine next weekend and start plumbing / electrical the following week. I might be one of those guys in june that have the body in primer and end up driving for year

#2283 should be done in a couple of weeks, that is if my painter can overcome his "painters block", he painted the body 6 weeks ago and has barely touched the doors,hood,and trunk.
All painted last weekend (black w/ titanium stripes) and just finished the carpet (Breeze-great stuff) and interior yesterday. Last week I got the headers and sidepipes back from Northeast High Temp Coatings and all the hinges back from the powdercoater. Going to re-torque every nut and bolt while my son does the final detailing and figure we are about four hours from mounting the body.Yes I will post pictures. Should be on the road next week.
I have 4 of them in my garage that should be done in May/June. They get inspected May 1 May10 (2 of them) and May 15. The painter got mad and walked out 2 weeks ago. We got a crash course in painting and buffing.
