What a week! We had the windshield installed Friday by a professional, then went to the DMV for license plates. Quite surprisingly, things went very well there and I came home with a tag for the car.

We called and got insurance,and installed the metal mesh in the hood openings.

Finally, we finished trimming the rear hatch and installed it with a latch and supports to hold it open. We are waiting on some slightly thicker weatherstrip before applying it to the rear hatch area and removing the tape.

Sunday afternoon, we aligned the car and took it for a few test drives on the road. We even stopped for gas. This thing is now a real car!

to do in the next week or so:

-install door mirrors

-seal the exhaust to the headers

-calibrate the speedometer

-aim the headlights and install the headlight covers

-wash the car!

..oh yeah, and put a few more miles on the odometer! :-)
