The to-do list:
This was a projcet car so naturally there are a few things I didn't get to finish
-Front fenders were given a euro-style flare to clear tires but never finished
-Rear driver's side fender is dented but I have a replacement fender that needs paint
-There are rust bubbles in paint near rear window
