I was... I knew color was gonna be expensive since the car that comes like that from factory is $250K. But I had to have it!

I'm thinking MB??

bought lock nuts for the manifold studs (found out the new set of studs I have are incorrect )
bought the rest of the fittings I need to make my fuel lines (now need to freakin make them!)
matched the exhaust gasket holes to the crazy hogged out ports on the head
dry mounted the GM one wire alt (had to make bottom front support bracket)
cleaned up two tranny cross members (now need to remember which one is for the 5 speed )
POR15 on the two cross members and drive shaft
wished I was at Solvang

Fixed the water leak at the thermostat housing gasket. Got the grounds right for the temp sensor to work again...

Pulled the front left guard yesterday. Right hand comes off today. Bogged up dents in various places. Hopefully be starting to prime this afternoon!

Got my wheels ready! Time to put my car back together. ( I changed the color to a surprise color...) spend $1000 just on a galon of paint

Nice wheels. What are they?

Got the body back from getting the bottom and engine bay sand blasted. Welded in a couple of patches. One step forward, two steps back. Yeah I wish I was at Solvnang too. Shooting for next year Mike.

Pulled the engine and transmission (for about the sixth time) to fix an oil leak.

Wish I could have gone (Solvang)

Alvin, how is it you have the Sora?? I thought that got sold and has a new owner?

[JMartin]

Cursed at not having headlights and marker lights. Installed an emergency trunk release. Note to others: DON'T hook your release wire onto the arm of the lock. It won't allow the mechanism to move UNLESS you have the key in the lock....ask me how long it took to figure out that little gem!

Finally finished installing the carpet set and refreshed the floor console. Also replaced the heater valve cable since I had the heater box out and some room to work. But OMG that was still a challenging job! Thank you forum for helping. This is such a great source of info when stumped, like in “how the heck do I get the choke knob off?” Quick search and there’s the answer “push in and turn clockwise.” This site is invaluable; I just wish I had discovered it sooner.

Looking good Adam! On the arm rest, did you vinyl over it? I have to do mine.
