Thanks man, me too. I think i said the wrong thing to them lol i said i'm in no rush but i did tell them i want to put the interior in over the winter so im thinking a month tops (hopefully), depending on how busy they are.

Heres a video i got uploaded, i think it sounds great (compared to the 81 anyways lol), not as great as your car sounds Val but great non the less IMO.

Doesn't sound bad for not driving in 12 yrs. Good luck on the paint. I wish I could have mine done.
