Thanks Ken. I agree that stickshifts are fun though. Somewhere in my future I still want a clone of the Two Lane Blacktop 55 with that noisy Muncie 4 gear in it. :D

lamin8r..........that story...

I don't know Ken, I think with the 468 Olds, Jackson Racing manual valve body 350 TH, 4:10 9 inch posi rear, and skinny 16 inch tires, it will probably go sideways if he twitches his little toe....

Wash out your mouth lamin8r!!!! :LOL: I see road rash as a sign I use my cars, Dan sees a scratch as the end of the world. :LOL:

As for the mirrors, I told him he needs to put one on the floor at...

Thanks Whiplash, I'll tell him. I like those handles too, they are 30 sedan handles that we modified with 32 mounting plates so they could go on the door below the beltline, instead of on the...

Thanks Steve. He's getting a lot of practice buffing stainless button heads, that's for sure. He is going to have a lot of fun when we start assembling the bed..........there are 120 button heads...

It does have some texture, but not super rough, just slightly there. As far as sound deadening and heat issues, not sure about that. Nor do I know how effective it might be for the underside of...

Thanks Barb and Randy. The finish on the floor is SEM Chip Guard. It comes clear but you can mix in any color to tint it to your shade. It is designed for rocker panels on cars so they don't get...

This week ended up REALLY good! We got so much done this week and it was fun stuff for a change......no sanding and painting, just bolting the body together for the LAST TIME!:D

The only thing...

Ken, believe it or not, I had to talk him out of pulling out the automatic and swapping a four speed in there a few months ago. I could just see this car getting finally done in 2035. :LOL::LOL:
...

Barb, I think Dan will have to drive in socks so he doesn't scratch them. Heaven forbid if he ever gets a mark on his car!!!!! :rolleyes::D

Steve, darned it, and I am wearing my new cologne too!...

The past week has been really productive for us. It is cooling off a little and Dan has been getting home from work at a reasonable time, so we have been going to the shop every night, getting small...

Thanks Steve. The light green you and Dan discussed when you were Stateside was a contender, but after Dan saw my 27 in the satin he started liking the pure hot rod look it lends. I know a lot of...

Ken, the stuff in my 27 is so solidly glassed in place it would be almost impossible, but I'm getting pretty good working upside down with my feet over the back of the body. :LOL:

Dan considered...

lamin8r, I can see where that would look great on bumpers and all. Pretty rich looking white.

Thanks Ken. Yeah, the car was all together once, so things are going back together relatively easy. ...

We are going to try to get a little more done every evening, when Dan gets home from work, then on his days off (Friday and Saturday) we will get the big stuff done. Last night and tonight we did a...

Bob, you're right, the end seems to actually be close......FINALLY. :D

Steve, thanks. Hasn't this Summer been brutal? I really can't wait for fall to come.

lamin8r, thanks. So you used that...

Thanks guys. When he told me he was going to spray the firewall again I was thinking "Oh no, not more work and it is already sprayed black and looking pretty good." But after we got it done I have to...

Haven't had a lot to post updatewise, because we have been doing nothing but prep work and painting on my Son Dans rpu for the past several months. But finally the body is in final paint (SEM Hot...
