Body delivered to the sign painters. The radiator shroud is now finished. The ch***is is nearly torn down for blasting. I'm done for today.
Thanks, thats my Beach Boys Special. 4 speed dual quad posi traction 409!! Well actually a 409/474 stroker.
Ch***is is blasted, and in the rotisserie at the painters. Hope to have it painted this week, then re***embly begins. Moving slow, but still moving. Got the zoomies back from being coated. Time to round up a bunch of stuff for the Powder coaster. I have heard the tech officials frown on a chromed axle, bummer. I guess powder coat for them as well.
Ch***is and rear axle housing are painted and home. A few more parts on order, then the ***embly will begin.
It is JetHot extreme chrome finish. More like a satin aluminum finish. Fits in with all the satin on the motor. I like it, and it is durable as hell. Zoomies are Jet Hot as well. I am going for 60's style.
As said before, way cool, good progress, cannot wait for ***embly pics. Please post all stages of ***embly. Glen
Great build. I just read through the whole thing for the first time. I've been wanting to do this for a long time! My avitar is a 1/2 scale I built for my son. I want to build the real thing tho... Kudos to you for providing the stoke!
