Thanks for all the kind words. No pics with the top on at all as I haven't done any of the interior, latches, or gaskets yet. I want to have the car's panels 100% together and wet saned/buffed just in case they sand/buff through something and have to spray it again. Once that's done I'll start finalizing the car.
Of course I'll have a large photoshoot once it's 100% done.

A quick update for anyone wondering... been super busy with my new job and found that the rockers/door jambs had to be redone again. Can't put the car together with the rockers/jambs in need of paint.
Dropped her off today to get the rest of the re-work done finally and she'll get moving here in a few weeks.
I did drive it over to the paint shop w/ my GF behind me w/ the hazards on and that was fun
I didn't want to get the trailer out and load it up to drive the car 10 minutes.

Sorry for the delay guys... the clifs notes are first shop did a shitty job and basically gave up. Car is at another shop being almost completely re-done. We went to wet sand it and went right through the clear in spots.
It was a cluster **** for a bit, but now shes in the right hands of someone who understands what "show quality" means. I'll have a large update when she's finally all done.
