3 years since my last post,
Don't worry, I'm still around but virtually no work on the car. Life happened as everyone can relate to. Prepped and sold 2 houses, ended up without a shop for 3 months, moved into a new house, and sold a rental property. The car did see daylight for the first time when I assembled it for the move.

Once I got settled in the new place, I figured the best way to jump start the build is to buy more tools! I've always wanted a lathe and mill and found this used set locally. A Grizzly G0602 10x22 lathe and a G0704 mill. They came with a decent amount of tooling that'll get me started. The mill is a bit smaller than I prefer but is definitely easier to move around.

I'm not sure how these are going to help with the sheet metal and wiring though
I've been stuck on the design of the rear body work for a long time but think I've got a decent plan right now. This could end up being the worst looking car around, but it'll be my hand built ugly car!
