What the hell makes you think that? :-)

I've been agonizing over the trim and how its getting painted for
over 1 year now.

Progress is slow, the car is more back together than not (again).
He has to figure out something with the ignition to get it running.

He was working on the old spoiler and busted a bolt/nut off
(gasp!). Can't blame him, the car saw its share of winters and the
salt takes its toll on everything. He's going to cut unto the wing
to replace a nut and then epoxy things back up. At least I think it
was a nut that let go inside the wing. There is a metal structure
in there that the nut is welded to or something.

He'd like to get the NOS wing I got but I'm kind of hesitant to put
it on the car yet. I'd like to make the old one work for now.

Some progress is better than none. I was hoping to get it this
April but it doesn't look good. Summer time maybe.
