8 days from today, this car is supposed to be in a contest.... I am taking bets

As Johny said, I am trying not to rush it. But... still want to attend...

Photos of this morning. Only problem is that office work is heavy this days... but my guys at home are working full Sped ahead...

The upsholsterer failed to attend today... there are no carpets in sight yet

You are making anyone who's car is down look silly.

I am especially feeling that way - I took my car down 3-4 weeks ago for a simple front suspension upgrade!

Keep up the good work. Your car looks awesome!
