So its too cold to paint? You mean like mid 50's, you should have been in Seattle 10 days ago, we had a week of mid 20's, now that's cold (for Seattle, ok, ok!!).
Anyway, project looks great, keep at it.

Hey, I never received that check for the truck. So I'm keeping it!

No, we have real winters here. Iit snowed yesterday and has been highs of 40's. We may be desert but we get 2-4 feet of snow where I live in NM. We are at 6,800 feet altitude.

Thanks, I like to get this a least drivable by mid summer 2010.

I finished media blasting the frame last weekend. Today I got the bottom half of the frame primered. Went out ot the the shop about 9 am and fired up my 2 heaters by about 2 PM it was almost 60 degrees inisde. High of 26 degrees today and 15 mph winds. Tomorrow I'll flip it over and get the top primered and try to finish it on Monday. Then I'm going to CA for a week. Should have just stayed home and worked on the car!!

I'm using Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black.

Very nice work . Also that car is is some great condition being with the one family so many years .

This won't look any different than the other pictures but got the finish coat on the frame.

looks like a cool build! Is that a drawing of the finished car on the windshield? If so post a picture of it!

Thank!

No, not a drawing of my car. Its a photo of the full size Panic Parrot Muscle Machine. It's up there for inspiration!

I've started assembling the suspension on the finished fram and running brake and fuel lines.
