I have basecoat and midcoat left over (third of a gallon can, maybe less), enough to spray some panels if needed. · All turn signals, brake lights, flash-to-pass, high beams, hazards are fully functional

You can do the math and see how much I've invested in this car. It's a one-of-a-kind LX. After a 20 mile drive to the track, it went 6.75@103.54 mph in the 1/8th mile. It ran out of fuel on the far end of the track, running a 10.62 but only 117.5 mph. That prompted the upgrades to the A1000 return-style fuel system. It has not been back to the track since. It should easily have gained 8+ mph. Here's some videos of it running. https://youtu.be/-jE-r5Sfeow Follow the profile name to a couple other videos.
