thx, fstfish66, should have more pictures later this week. , Having the etch primer done in the same town this week too. I have time issues so thought I had better get that done before rust came back. It will still need some work before prime/paint. Hemi orange?

Looking good, I always hate cars with shiny new paint jobs and you look inside the wheel opening and see nothing but rusty parts underneath.

If that Valiant ever starts getting in the way of your truck build, I'll be happy to come haul it off for you

It is looking good. Are you keeping the butterfly hood maybe missed that. I am curious how much did the change for the 727 effect your leg room?


What was I thinking....

Trying to keep the hood, but not sure. foot room is limited. We'll see.
Oh and for above, motor is pretty stock, little more bore, little more piston, little more cam, 650 4bbl. Gonna be a driver for sure.

Finished bottom side with rocker panel guard, may do the whole fire wall? Anyway ready to bolt the dolly back on after we get the under side of the dash painted. Anybody got good easy ways to do that with out some fancy pressure feed gun? Figured I would just spray bomb it.
