It's going to be a real dark toyota Blue. I can't remember the name at the moment.

This car wasn't really built to be an exact replica.
The real car didn't come from the factory with A/C. The cars that have A/C were dealer installed units & the configurations of those units changed depending on which aftermarket A/C system the dealer used. So the controls were never standardized on the original cars. It's hard to duplicate something that varied from car to car in the originals.
On the radio, once again they didn't come from the factory with a radio. Radios, if desired, were located & installed by the dealers.
If you look at a lot of pics of Miuras, you'll see radios located in different places in the center console.

Archie and Team;
I have to say I am a bit sad to see another outstanding build by your shop coming to an end. I looked forward to the updates these past years.
As I said before, you and your team have really out done yourselves on this build and should be very proud of the ingenuity you applied to get it all sorted out and the quality of the finished product.
  Well Done
I am looking forward to the next installment of an Archie Team custom build......
Cheers
Don

This has been one of those threads you hate to see come to an end because it has been very interesting and informative to watch the progress...
But I am sure the car will look spectacular when it is painted.

Archie,
With all the work you have done getting things right it is a shame you don't splash some molds before paint. As always your work is stellar.
That car is beautiful.

Originally, we thought, the transportation company was supposed to be here yesterday to pick up the car to go home.
However, there was a missunderstanding. We interpreted 07-16-10 as being the pickup date. The trucking company had considered that date as the earliest date that they could pick it up.
They said that whenever they get a hauler in our area (next week or 2) they will call a day ahead & arrainge to pick up the car.

Archie,
Considering all the cars that you have built, how does this one rank in difficulty, and in fun?
