So a bit of an update for you all. The car was removed from the paint shop 3/4s of it in primer. I guess it was to be under the radar of the owner ( they where going to give me a great deal for paint) but he caught wind of it and said it had to go. Aw well... one good thing was all the work that was done... he didnt charge me for it!! LOL It was pretty much ready to be painted. So at the moment its being stored at our shop and its at a stand still. I cant do body work on it at our shop cause it just gets the place way too dusty. I am working on another option and keep you guys in the loop. So below is a link with some updated pics, the car is actually further along than the pictures so I should take some more. The whole car has now been blocked and the remainder is ready for primer. I was quite lucky in that most areas where pretty straight... that being said though we did a light skim of filler on the whole car to ensure its straight. Something about all that sanding only to be back where you first started (no product on the metal at all) can be a bit discouraging LOL!! Enjoy!!

The colors I have chosen.... well pretty damb close anyways! I will have a thin copper met. orange pinstripe breaking the two up.



Changed my mind a bit on the wheels. Decided to go with a 18x8 in front and a 20x8.5 in the rear. Seems to be the way to go these days. That combo is all I saw at SEMA this year. They are the Boyd Codington Magnetos.... Im sure most know but.... I ordered my wheel and tire package back in early summer, the fronts are done but the rears are still not ready??! Apperantly Boyd does not put the crazy time lines on his wheels like he does his rods! LOL

So its had its hick ups but its coming along. I mean... it wouldnt be a project car if everything went smooth right???:
