I finally got the front end finished and aligned. The doors also are on and the lines are pretty good. Time to make sure the top fits now.

Panel and door fitment is looking GOOD Marco. That takes a lot of work but man it is looking great! Keep it up, it looks a WHOLE lot like a 40 again 
Man between you and Simpson, Root Kurt and Adam the 40's in the club are becoming legendary!

Makin it look easy. Nice job Marco!
Yes! At this pace, looks like we'll be ready for the 8240 run in about a week or so, eh?

Phew, feels like maybe were looking at another month or two I think. I dunno, maybe by mid summer I'm hoping. I have a feeling the details will take a while, and also that the paint guy will take at least 2-3 weeks seeing how he has been working on it leading up to now.
I'm stoked though!

I am naming this photo... "field of dreams!" look at all that glorious green!
Marco, have you named this 40? Just curious since your Forum name still reminds us all of your dark and appropriately shamed past.

Getting closer to paint being done, trying to do it like Toyota did it... they painted assembled.

Where are you painting at? Looks like a legitimate spray booth, not your garage.
