I've been looking through the build thread on Facebook and a few things caught my eye. The electric conversion on the rear quarter windows looks great and operates smooth. Same with the convertible top. Nice work.

I was looking at some of the upholstery work, which I have a bit to do myself. I restored a couple of my armrests similar to how you did yours. But I'm looking at the door panels and am wondering how you recreated the embossing on the center of the panels. I need to have mine redone but don't love the idea of sending them off to SMS and maybe getting them back two years later. I can't tell if you stitched the embossing pattern in or if they are actually embossed.

Lastly, I was noticing the windshield has the factory green tint but doesn't look like the side windows do. I've seen some cars with no factory green, but most have it. Mine is currently the opposite of yours....clear windshield, green tint everywhere else.
