Man I can't wait to get started on my resto! Great job! Many years of dedication.
I will say I wouldn't recommend this level (cost) build to anyone without an excessive amount of spare cash. There were a lot of better things I could have got for the same input.
Thinking about it I could have had 3-4 pretty nice old cars. Or just a new z06 and an acr.
Oh well. This is more unique!

Good Lawd! ...I hear ya buddy. However, it's why we play the game! ...anybody can buy and ACR and a Z06.
You're going to have a very nice, unique car that doesn't require as much upkeep, which will be rewarding. I wouldn't disagree with you though. I have about 20k total, including the price of the car into my '69 bird. I wish it was quite a bit nicer, but at that point I probably would buy something new as well.
I'm glad to see you're making some serious progress towards completion on this!
That is exactly right. I can guarantee no one around has a car exactly like mine. Anyone can buy a new car and mod it. This takes time/patience (7 years of it and counting so far...)
p.s. I want to check out that Pantera at some point.
Thanks guys. Yea i started this build with a 20-30k budget and blew that VERY early with all the paint/body/metal work that was required. That was it went from ridiculous to just absurd in cost...I can bet this will get more attention than a Z06/ACR however, and out run them as well
I've had my car for over 16 years and was fortunate enough to have the body and paint done at a time when prices for decent work weren't stratospheric. I couldn't duplicate my car now for the same amount of money I have in it. It would take every bit of $40,000+ at this time.
