After all the fab work and paint was done, I made some steady progress on reassembly for a little while, but then hit a wall again when it came to wiring and plumbing. I don't enjoy that type of work, and couldn't stay motivated to work on it. I had also made a career move into a position with high stress and little free time, but decent enough pay that I didn't need to be such a tightwad anymore... So, in 2017, I dropped the car off with Steven Kiehne, and picked it up a couple months later with the fuel system and wiring completed, and the car was yard-drivable. It still needed a lot of work to be roadworthy, but I could hear it run, and that was enough to motivate me to keep working on it.
