some more update pix. i still have a lot of body work to do but as long as the metal is protected i goods. next is the engine then the interior. thanks for the all the complements. i am getting a ton of help for family and friends. i just want to drive this beast already. FYI this is the first time i ever painted a car and i gotta say i just found a new appreciation for all painters. it my not be prefect but i love how it came out.
looks like you're doing a great job man. go traditional, rake that puppy with little and bigs and flame her out(ya, i'm partial to flames).
216"+6 cylinders all in a line does not equal beast. Sorry The old hooptie looks OK from where I sit. I imagine it has a sag or two in the paint, but that's what sand paper is for. Don't slack now you are well on your way to fun.
