Basic project history.

Progress thread from 2007.

I started it in July 0f 1995, so I've got at least a year on frozenphil's marathon Mustang, even though he refuses to admit it ;) It was originally scheduled as a one-summer project. Heh.

It's mostly done at this point, at least for major work. I hit a bit of a paint snag at the end of last summer. After fixing that to the tune of about 60+ hours, I was burned out and haven't touched it since then.


Before (sometime in 1995 or 1996):
