Well, we brought her home Saturday. and save for some serious detailing, adjusting the timing, and getting the top put on, she's pretty much as done as we're going to do.
Here it is, and thanks for all of the great information...

And the car ain't bad either...
lol, Just kidding, your ride turned out beautiful, and I'm sure the family will love riding around in the sunshine in such an awesome car.
What's the decal that's under the spare tire ?

Thanks...
Distributor worked itself loose and rotated at a stoplight, so I'm going to reset the timing tomorrow.
That decal is just a sticker that tells you to get your stuff out of the way of the convertible top before lowering. Off center, I know...I'll fix that maybe...
The tires in the rear are p275 60 r15...
Thanks again... I have to admit, I'm hoping that I'll start enjoying it, because it's been a long road...
The AC is charged, though, and that helps...

The car looks great, and I'm totally digging the round aux gauges mounted below the heater controls.
Congrats, well done, to both of you for the car and the pregnancy!

If I recall correctly my memory is excellent. My ability to access it is not.
