I did the paint prep and actual painting myself, a mistake in all regards except cost. It took a long time and still didn't turn out very nice, but it looks good moving. Cindy and Liz applied vinyl racing stripes which helped cover some bad paint. The windows were put in by professionals, it would have been hard to do alone with no past experience.
The car is fun to drive, the Borg Warner T35 auto tranny works well, there are some fine points to work out but it feels great to be driving. The Speedhut gps Speedometer works very well.
