2 - 30 pound gas shocks worked nicely to hold the trunk lid open.

Already installed - and for now, manual. Replaced the sound alarm that came with the kit with 2 red LED lights in the upper corners of the dash that will stay lit if the locks are not being engaged.

Here is the latest build for a customer in Florida. We finalized the color combo and will have this finished very soon.

Hey Matt, thought you should know, one of your customers David (67hemi), suffered a stroke a couple of weeks ago. I am sure David will recover and finish his car, it will just take a little longer than planned.

I have been in contact with his wife since it happened. I consider all my customers friend and check up on them and the builds very frequently. Hopefully he recovers quickly and back to 100%

Power windows finally installed. Not a simple task on a door that is 3" wide ( ID ) at it's widest and the bottom of the door tapers down to about an inch. Did I mention the door is also curved!! Only system that would remotely work was "Specialty Power Windows" kit. As you can see from the pics, I had to do some home grown mounting work to gain the room I needed. Biggest problem was the taper at the bottom of the door - where the power window motor sits - ugh!

Went with a simple exhaust system. No cross-over - straight through stainless "Borla's". Might have some loud issues down the road, so I went with stainless band clamps on the muffs for easier change if need be. Pipes will be black powder coated with heat paint.

Ya, I have room for an "H" pipe between the trans pan and trans mount and might do that at a later date. Finally turned one corner today and started disassembling it for paint. Frame will be powder coated black. Then body, fenders, cowl, hood back together and on the frame for painting.

As of yesterday, I took delivery of my 33 Plymouth from "Custom 33" one year ago. All systems have been installed (and tested where feasible ) and I am now in the process of disassembly for paint and interior ( last 2 big financial hits). Wife has been keeping financial track of everything ( I like to take my hits up front grin). Frame and some suspension pieces will be powder coated. Keeping to my original plan - respectable show piece with street functionality taking priority. Long trips attainable and 1/4 mile times in the mid to high 12's.

Chassis back from powder coating and suspension hung back on. Most suspension pieces were done in Por 15 satin black. Next step will be to reinstall body, fenders, cowl, hood and send off for paint / interior work. Some wiring and brake master cyls will remain under the cowl and bagged. All else is outa there. got some junk wheels and tires to make it a "roller".

Please remind me how to apply POR-15. Spray or brush? Or how?

Thanks,
