Only a world class craftsman could pull all this off and make it look so easy. My hat is off to you Dave, you're an artist!

Very flattering, thank you! I started assembling my “show book” of photos I’ll have printed to have with me. Really neat looking back from the beginning.
BMW Classic Car Club magazine is being printed with my story in it. Will share it here when it comes out! Cheers Dave

Turned my attention to exhaust over the weekend and think it came out OK seeing how I basically just cut and spliced things together. Was a fun project. I didn't want to load the car up and send it to a shop, so I decided to just crawl all over the concrete floor for a few days. Does a back good!
  Just tacked in place for now to make sure it all aligned correctly..... Part Two coming up! Cheers Dave

Once everything was lined up I fabbed up an equalizer pipe. I needed to notch it so it would clear the transmission crossmember and allow the trans to come out without having to remove the crossover pipe. Worked out swimmingly!!
I sprayed everything with high temp aluminum to prevent the flash rust and to get a cleaner look. The mufflers are Jaguar XKE. How will they sound? Beats me!   we'll find out soon enough. More to come.... Cheers Dave

My 3D printed grilles will have to do for now while I wait for the front surrounds and and side grilles to be finished. The shop is backed up so it might be a while, so might as well throw these in! They don't look half bad for being plastic.
Hood is on and latches are adjusted. Smooth as silk. I need to permanently install the hood release handle bracket next to the parking brake lever next. More to come.... again!! Cheers Dave
