It was a late night last night but we got the body painted! I like it!!!!!! I had a lot of help getting the body ready. My wife, Jr and Sandy all helped sand. Inbetween coats we started to put the frame together. Clark
I like the color too. How do you guys get bodywork done so quickly? Alot of work before Detroit. I dont know how you guys do it.
Pete...I really don't know! My fingers are raw. I try to get the body as straight as possible to keep the filler work to a minimum. I hate sanding! It has to be together by Tuesday to go for an interior. Clark
Sure looks good Clark. I know you can get this done you always seem to do what it takes to meet a deadline. I'm looking forward to seeing it at COBO. Frank
looks great Clark!!! I cant wait to see it at Detroit. My dad and I are heading to North Carolina tonight after worrk to pick up the one he justs bought off of eBay.
Yeah that was fast. I think you were just buying the paint around noon or soyesterday when I talked to you! Ha Ha Ha Blue and white. The new flat black and red wheels. Ha Ha Ha
Final look?? Sorta sixties.... It will have some cool headers in white, Top insert and interior will be white tuck and roll, wheels are Radir bullet spokes with www's Plowboy...yeh! Final color wasn't decided til tuesday. Clark
That color is awesome. What kind is it (brand, call out)? Is it base/clear or a single stage? Look awesome. Cant wait to see it on the frame.
That looks nice! I agree with LoBrow, what color is that? I am planning on shooting the '51 with a similar shade of blue. Inquiring minds will like to know.
Dude you work ****ing fast. I hate blue normaly but thats a good shade very close to what the herpie was one i got it. Cant wait to see it at Detroit. will it be in the back of a uhual truck again haha
I think my wife decided that is the perfect color for her ride (when we get it over here). Is your car going to the Detroit Autorama? If so I look forward to seeing it completed and in person.
Clark is painting the rear and dash now. Mazda you are correct. It should be ***embled and ready for upholstry by Monday if all the parts show up.
I think teal is the right color... Besides that, I wonder what the "third motor mount" is all about...?? If you could elaberate(sp?) that'd be great.... With Love, Matt
Great work Clark,....! Looking forward to seeing her done,.... Did you do all the white (except for firewall) in paint or powdercoating?? NICE!!....
Well it's 1 am and just finished spraying the last of the white. I had lots of help in the shop today! Jr, Mikey, Larry, JT (lullabelle) and my father all helped out. I'm real happy with the way it's looking. Motor and ****** are in. Body is on. We should have it mostly done on Monday. It goes to the upholstry shop tuesday. The color is 06 viper blue. It's base/clear with a flat clear. Matt..the third motor mount is a steering box mount. Should have pics of it on tomorrow. Ernst...should be done including upholstry by the first of March. It's going to the Detroit Autorama. Clark
No Round Up this year. We're going to Bville later this year and we have a big project to do as soon as the T is done. Clark
