Nice choice. My commendations to your daughter for her sharp eyes. It's good she caught that before it became a real issue.

Still working on the engine (I keep breaking pieces off trying to work one thumbed) and it's almost done (Will post pics tonight). Last night I double checked the last coat on the body and then installed the chrome trim to it. I also assembled the interior (Seats and floor boards). A few more days and I should be able to get a lot of things assembled.

Disappointing night. I left my engine on a little shelf to dry. My 14 year old decided to play with it and broke off the drivers side manifold. Then she broke the manifold in pieces and ended up throwing it away to cover it up. At any rate here is my progress:

As you can see there is some minor touch up needed that I will finish up tomorrow maybe.

Went up late tonight and got the interior together!!! Tip for you two, don't glue the steering column to the floor, it's too short and will sit on the seat up against the dash... I super glued mine where it should be to the bottom of the dash after I installed the dash... Also put your tiny decals on the dash before you install it...
