    Got the car all in primer again. A couple of little details to clean up before paint but not to bad at this point. The fender skirts are all modified and fitting the way I want them to and a little touch up body work done to them for a blocking and reprime. Also started bodyworking the aircleaner and the tailights are all boxed up and going to the chrome plater early this week. I hope they turn out good.

    Thanks guys. Hopefully will start sprayin some color on this thing within the next couple of weeks. Some cleanup bodywork in a couple areas to do tomorrow and then wetsand the entire car.

    The stands for the car are 12 wide x 14 long x 8 high. A lot cheaper than the racecar ones that sell for about 200 bucks for a pair. Some wood, glue and screws and a little time

    thanks man. Truckedup 28 was kind enough to help me for a while on the car tonite. He worked on some of the not so perfect areas of the car and we got about half of it wetsanded tonite. Should have the entire thing blocked out Sat.

    Very exciting step for the sled tonite. Jeff painted the roof, jambs, firewall, and dash tonite. Car looks great with some color on it. Ill take some better pics of it sat when we push it outside to do the jambs of all the parts. Thanks again Jeff, I appreciate your hard work

    Your not to far behind me with your sedan Matt! Jeff painted all of the jambs on all the parts today along with the inner fenders and radiator support. Ill post up some pics tomorrow when I take some.

    The weather wasnt that great out when the car was outside so I didnt snap any pics outside
