2018 Progress

Here are some selections from 2018. This may have been my most productive year on the project. After given a firm "push" into completing the project in 2017, I ramped up my time spent on the car and progress, however this was the year all of the corners I was cutting was taking a toll on the work. I wasn't happy with the seats so I started making "Countach" seats out of fiberglass (which weren't great). The dashboard was made out of an old bookshelf and covered with fiberglass. I was proud of the vinyl work though. I spent a lot of time learning how to sew for this. Next was what seemed to be an endless string of failed windshield attempts. Finally getting fed up and just buying a reproduction windshield for over $1000 on Ebay. This is a textbook example of working harder and not smarter and doing everything the wrong and/or cheap way before learning to do it the right and cost-appropriate way. I believe 2018 was also the first year the engine was started, although I can't be 100% sure.
