Thanks for all the comments! It is starting to look like a car now.

Wally and Matt,
Yup, that is PPG Concept single stage. It looks very nice.

Nice work Stan. I'm glad to see I'm not the only guy who paints his own cars in the garage with single stage..
Keep at it and in no time you'll be doing burnouts...

I have been super busy with work and other things but I have been getting a few things done on the car. Headliner is in, glass is in, hood is finished, fuel tank and lines are in, brake lines are in, etc.

I am putting the front suspension together now.

Here are some updates:

Front suspension is finished. Wheels and tires are installed. Interior is complete with the exception of the front seat and steering column. Machine work is all done on the engine. I am mocking up the engine and measured for the pushrods yesterday. I have a new Mcleod clutch/pressure plate/billet flywheel ready to go in. I also have the new polished ceramic coated TTI headers and 3" full exhaust with stainless steel tips ready to get installed. The driveshaft is all ready to go.

So, what's left? A bunch of small things. Rebuild the carbs, order the correct air cleaner assembly, finish assembly of the engine, etc. Mainly, I am out of money!!!! I need to take a break for a month or so. The goal is still to have it at Carlisle, though.

2JcodeChargers: Yup! All welding, block sanding, painting, wet sanding, etc was done in my 20'x20' garage. Most don't believe it when I tell them that.

minivan: I almost didn't go with the steel wheels and redlines... I do like the Cragars...

68427vette: The Challenger is a 1970 with a '71 grill and tail lights. I will be putting a '70 grill and tail lights back in it. I have been gathering parts for it over the past couple of years. It is going to be BAD......

JcodeCharger: I like the rear wheels you have on your car. I have a set of 15x8 steel wheels that I will probably put a set of M/T Street ET's on eventually.

Mopar_Beach and Matt: It is so close I can taste it!!! I am literally going to smoke those tires right off of that car!

I love these cars. The closest I ever came was a 69 Coronet R/T that I added a sixpack to & added the lift off hood. I miss the red interior too.

Stan just make sure you post a video of that big burnout to finish up the restoration thread!
The car looks great and your one of the hardest working guys I know of!
