Starting to look like a car again. Had the hood the entire time, it was just stored away separately from the car. It was actually pretty rough, a lot of pitting on the bottom, since my goal is to have a very nice driver and the top was good we decided to rehab the top sheetmetal completely, cleaned up the bottom, and actually put a thin coat of paintable undercoat on the bottom to give it a uniform finish, the underside isn't smooth like a perfect hood, but still looks good, and besides who cares what the underside of the hood looks like when its going down the road!

I love them as well. Here's my old Hemicar for inspiration.

Thanks for all the comments! That was back in September of last year. It is GB5, the paint is the Modern PPG 2 stage base clear equivalent, I'd have to talk to my friend who did the paint to get the exact specs. It has a ton of Pop to it, not really sure how else to explain it. Right after spraying it seemed a little lighter than expected, but has darkened up a bit as it cured. Don't have too long to post tonight so I'll get a few more pics from body assembly up.

Beginning suspension assembly. I went a little off stock here, not the only time! I had most of the front suspension pieces powder coated to look like bare steel. Fortunately I had access to this lift to assemble it.

Once again my car club comes to the rescue. Had the Dana overhauled by one of the members using Doctor Diff components, had it powder coated too!

Front Suspension Again. We actually had to move the skid plate over to a "new" K-frame because the original was cracked, can't even tell it didn't leave the factory on that K-frame. Also had it Powder Coated. Note that the T-Bars are also out.
