Time to tie up some details. I got the alignment done last week and one of the trailing arms is bent, so it will need to be replaced. Even though its not perfect, the drive home
from the shop was much better than the one before the alignment.

I got the front spoiler painted with some texture paint so it will be a reasonable match to the LineX coating I had put on the rockers. This winter, I'm going to modify the spoiler
so it matches the flairs better, but for now, it acceptable.

I got the wipers painted and installed.

Finely, I installed the engine cover. The car looked kind of cool when the engine was exposed, but now it looks complete.

Now I need do get all the gauges operational

Where did the front spoiler come from? Is it wider for the flares?

Awesome build, Billy! Makes me wish I painted my shroud and valve covers when the engine was out.

And why would you put wipers on a car that will never, repeat, never see the rain!
