My 71 scamp!
Don't be rushing it now! It's coming along beautifully, the shows come and go every year. Do your car right (the way you're doing it) don't rush. I know it's tempting as you have most of what you need to get it rolling...but I believe you would be more satisfied in knowing that you gave it your best and didn't take shortcuts.
In the long run you will no doubt appreciate it more.
