Last update before Friday's show. I have an out of town job tomorrow. Car is filthy as it's just been colorsanded & buffed. All old pinstriping on car is now gone. Windshield is back on car & it runs. Found out panhard bar in front is bent today. :crazy: Nothing like more drama. Theirs will have to be modified to fit the TCI mounts. Car will be detailed tomorrow top & bottom. This is the 1st time I've had a car professionally detailed. Can't wait to see the engine. It was pretty nice but I hadn't had time to really get in there before.
Grille shell- less pinstriping. That will be done tomorrow. Moon tank is installed.
We have flames!!! No pin stripe yet. Cheapo work camera doesn't do colors right though- but this one is closest.
Hood side. This one is all striped & looking great!
Hood top, all striped.
Close up of louvered hood side all color sanded & buffed. Striping isn't done yet.
Open & say AHHHHHHHHHH
Color is not right though. Should have moved the floor jack.
Another view of hood side.
Tools of the trade.
Side view. Doesn't really show the dark shadows w/ flash on & colors are wrong.

I almost hate to see this thread come to an end. The book signature is icing on the cake, seems like a great guy to work with!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
