5 coats of organosol black later (with hardener added) and it's done. you cannot tell the scoop is added to the hood. the sanding took about a half a day, but it was worth it. added the rest of the A12 stuff, and calling it done.



sweat from the hands and arms is leaving marks, but they'll wash off.



always in the way, but i wouldnt trade them for the world. nice and shiny hoodpin plates, with correct lanyards and rivets. (if it was an a12)



full frontal dakota porn.



next is the metallic black body, and i'll probably do the hughes whiplash before paint. once it's all sorted out, the 390 stroker kit will be done, and i'll paint the engine bay when the motors pulled for stroking. slowly, but slowly. still looking for a non ps pulley for the waterpump, and i need a smaller compressor to clear a six pack.
