Glad to see the old girl cleaned up and ready to run. Was a good block. Looking good.

Great engine. Block cleaned up at 30 over and the crank was excellent. I sold the heavy rods to offset the cost of the new ones.

Got the paint booth ready to do some more paint work tomorrow.

When I built the garage I planned for this. Big *** exhaust fan pissing off the neighbors!

Re-shot the front clip today and got the small parts done. The hood was a slightly different shade than the tops of the fenders and it bugged me, can see it in the first pic. Blended them together to fix that. Got one coat of clear on it and had too much dirt in it so I stopped so I would not bury it. Oh well let it cure and hit it with 600 and try again.

 

[T2R9]

Took the front clip down with 600 and shot the clear again last night. Much better this time, some dust but it will buff right out.

It looks good!

I re-shot the jams and rear valance today. The jams were transparent as you can see in the first pic. Much better now.

Back on the lift. All masked off and prepped for under coating tomorrow.

Epoxy is done. Need to let it set up 2 hours and then I will undercoat the wheel wells.

Looking great,now the really fun part of building these cars begins! Assembly 101. Everytime you add new parts you will see the car come together!

 

[T2R9]

Yea I cant wait for this paint crap to be done! Some of the pretty stuff waiting its turn.

 

[T2R9]

Done. Now to let it sit up for a bit and pull the masking off.

Final cut and buff today.

 

[chargervert]

Cutting and buffing is time consuming,but so worth it!
