The price wasnt bad, never called anybody else. Do you want the #? Its not that bad just felt since there exposed on the car I wanted better. Unless better would have been another 500 then they are great

Still workin at it got the car blocked in 80 grit, Added some more SlickSand , workin on the Jambs still, about to start on the 180 Block, Man blocking SUCKS

I did find a vendor in CT. Thanks for the help! With your attention to details, your car will be a show piece for sure!

Ebay a couple of years ago, I chopped it I think 3" or 3/1/2. I will makeing my own grill out of 250 sst rod. I didnt want the standard chopped 4 1/2 sppedway sell's to much chop for mine. I just reglassed it and doing body work on it. I am tired of body work

Yea! I like the look of the longer shell, it suits the Pro Street look. Ive managed to get my body back on the frame. I reversed the firewall and the clearance is good. It was probably more work than building a new one, but i like the look. The body is chanelled 4 1/2" and all the floor framing and body mounts are complete. The floor and wheel tubs are next. I'll try and post some pictures soon.

Well pretty excited, all my paint is comming in tommorow, pinstriping paint is ordered, striper lined out Should start start the spraying this weekend Going to start with the cage first, then the inside, tape it all off, then bottom, tape it off then the outside. Been along tome comming 15yrs

Well got the cage painted and flaked Now just to start painting eveything else this weekend.

I like that color, nice werk!!

Well between trying to keep my shop warm was in the high 50's when I was shooting, added some acclerator, wasnt real please have to come back and color sand the dash. It still has to be stripped anyway. Try to go for one more coat of clear to smotth it out, what happens then a run driverside Of course thats whats 1000 grits for Trying the best I can for a back yard kind of dude

hell 50 is a heat wave here in mich i shot paint were i chip the ice off the top of the can to get it out to load in the gun

What ya use an undercoat gun to spray it
I was mad I got a run, I once heard that it wasnt a run, its a flow check in the clear

Bottom done, now to start on the outside I am so STOKED It has been around 15yrs in the makeing because I keep working on everybody elses stuff and other projects. It feels real good to be this far. I cant wait till I fire the blower motor off

Looks really clean and nice underneath! Always great to get the bottom done and start putting things together!

Nice, meticulous work. I am impressed!
