Starting to look like a car.
I had to repaint the doors, but is is starting to look like a car. The doors close flush, and the gaps are pretty even. Now I have to fix and spot that little place where the door touches the body when it opens . . .Last edited by Henry Rifle; 12-02-2006 at 01:04 PM.

Henry. That is going to be one hell of a looking machine. Your talent is showing.
Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

It's 1993-96 Corvette competition yellow (Code 53). Any automotive paint supplier can mix it for you. A word of caution. This yellow is very transparent. I laid it down over a bright white sealer to make sure the yellow would pop.
You can find the various paint manufacturers' codes here:

Lookin' good Jack!!
Too bad it's one of those high dollar trailer queens instead of a REAL hot rod!

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Bob,
It's been on a trailer five times already - and I can't even drive it yet. It really should go in the Rat Rod Talk forum. Isn't that where all Gibbon rods go? (For the newbies, that's an inside joke.)Jack

Nice Looking Ride. I remember the days when I had to put rags between the stand and the paint. You'll be glad to drive that one. Probably never get the grin off your face

Absolutely gorgeous. Great job on the coupe, I really love the color. Boy howdy does it "pop". Seeing that almost makes me change my mind (again) and go back to yellow and black for the flaming chicken. Keep up the great work.

well I decided to do another mod to gain max travel of bars past the intended travel points just for that peace of mind. 1/8 inch is to close so now I'll have 1/2" or better. I cut a 3/16" wall...
