Cool video Dennis.  Those for few drives are always the best.

Couple of notes....

First, I would leave the front fenders on when you hang the doors.  You need them in place to get the door alignment correct.  You do have to be very careful with the doors to not ding them on the fenders...especially the first few times you close them until you get the alignment close.  I would personally have the rear fenders bolted on too....since they set up the alignment for the rear edge of the door.

Second....it would be very cool to see this car at the next Invasion in Rochester, NY in 2014.  Hint hint...

Later,
