    Kbgreen, thank you. I just have so many way more talented people around me. I love to study real builders and I don’t hold a candle to them. I just love to work in my garage and try to push myself.

    Thank you for the kind words

    Looks killer. Where did you source the door sills?

    I got the garnish moldings all in. I made a custom stainless 1/2 round piece that goes down the center. My buddy Robbie figured out the way to mount them.

  14. Nice looking custom...Is the blue a custom mix or OE? I really like the color.

    Thank you. It is PPG fleet paint. I don’t think it has a name.

  23. So many choices/decisions to be made with a build of this quality..I'm a fan of all of them.
    Beautiful car..drive/show with pride..a lot of envious people will be drooling.

    Haha. I will. If it’s not raining this weekend I’ll pull it out and shoot some photos. My little garage makes it hard to take good photos

    I got my hubcaps back from my talented friend/painter Kyle Martin. He color matched One Shot to match the rims and painted the lion. Yes I know we didn’t paint the circle part of the logo. I dared to be different and not have Kyle paint it. I personally like the end result. Let me know what you guys think?
