Kirsten,

I'm sure Dan was a good student. So good, in fact, I'll bet he could do 
that stuff ALL BY HIMSELF now.

Not taking anything away from the paint. It's fabulous. It's just great 
to see it ALL come together. Like many others I followed the progress on 
the car. We came to watch the engine swap but also got to watch as just 
about every system on the car was redone. Brakes, suspension, steering, 
wiring, etc., etc., etc.  It was a very ambitious project.  There was so 
much fabrication involved.  (Lots of projects die on the vine when they 
run into impediments like those encountered with Shocky.)  It's nice to 
see that you persevered to see it through.  (I'm sure it will always be 
a work in progress - there is always something that can be changed.) 
The paint + the engine = Beauty and the Beast.  It really should be an 
inspiration for all those with either "pending" or half done projects to 
get them done.

PS It was nice that you took the time to document the project so well. 
Nice teaching tool.
