No pics today, just a brief update.

Here's what's left that I'm aware of:

-Finish trimming the package tray for the rear defroster and install tray &amp; defroster. Gravy.

-Install rear DS door panel. Gravy.

-Install front DS door panel. Gravy.

(Bodyguy was undercoating the inner surfaces of the doors &amp; below the rear side glass today)

-Install rear seat. Gravy.

-Install DS sill plate. Gravy.

-Install &quot;Chevelle&quot; emblem on hood. Gravy.

-Paint front inner fenders. New parts, gravy, just a little time consuming for prep work.

-Sand &amp; buff cowl vent panel. Not quite gravy, but nothing monumental either.

-Spatter paint trunk.

And I believe that's it. Bodyguy said the car very well could be ready to come back home by next weekend.

Stay tuned for the final reveal once the last of the odds &amp; ends are finally wrapped up! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

That shop looks familiar...&quot;Wise-guys Restoration&quot; with Sammy &quot;The Bull&quot; Gravano and Carmine Sessa doing glass and trim installations.

Well... been faithfully tuning in and following this saga with great interest (I have wanted a similar model) and now for almost 2 weeks, when it was getting so close to being done - nothing - zippo - nada...
I (collectively, I feel safe in saying &quot;we&quot are dying to see the close to final results, all cleaned and polished up, out in the real world.

I've been out to the shop several times over the last couple of weeks helping Bodyguy get the last few details wrapped up. Since Bodyguy #2 is called away indefinitely again, #1 has literally been breaking his back trying to get my car done along with staying on top of the daily incoming work.

The car is essentially completed. We are literally down to the last few nut &amp; bolt issues, including a few minor touch-ups and the final polish job. (the engine bay is going to need some attention to get everything cleaned up again, but I'll address that once the car is back home)

I'm going out again tomorrow to *hopefully* help wrap up the last few details. The car is scheduled to be delivered back home this Monday, so I hope to have the completed pics available very soon. I don't think I will have any more pics tomorrow, I really want to get the &quot;final reveal&quot; pics done in the daylight.
