Impressive, both the car and the workforce. My (non)payroll is one plus occasional help in holding things from (she who must be obeyed) normally at the price of a theatre ticket!! Keep going, sure you'll make it.

Todays's target was to get the entire wiring done, but we were only able to prepare
the loom & fix the lights.

Update : with just 2 days to go , lots of work is pending but most of the work just needs the finishing touches.
we are done with the wiring , all lights work , had issues with earth as most of the parts of the body and chassis
have paint , but has been sorted , upholstery needs pasting , the hood is being stiched right now and its 10.20 pm here.

Fired the engine today and it sounded sweet , tomorrows agenda is to complete the hood , attach the doors,
fabricate a bracket for the sparton horn , running board rubbers and trim to be fixed, to get a new set of tyres,
a new battery, and to paint the wheels , ...............the list never ends.
