Come on Zip, it only took the factory a few hours to build that car! Ha! If I could build 700 1969 plymouths per day, you bet I would..... https://youtu.be/MgNOQbK2Yaw

Appreciate the encouragement all, thanks. He's a fantastic resource for the production side of things and seems to know every little detail.

Had a productive couple days.
Final prep and spi epoxy Saturday, went back Sunday, seam sealed everything I could, then Summit Hot Rod black.
Rich, presuming two things I have a favor to ask. The top pic shows what I presume to be the rear shackle upper mounting tube in the frame, and presuming it is the same diameter inside and outside as an A-body would it be possible for you to get me those two dimensions of that tube. I need to get some more tube for my car to redo a mistake we made a couple decades ago before we do drag week in my Demon. Thank you.

I asked my buddy who built his wide body Jaguar XKE how much labor he had invested. He said if he paid himself $50/hr it would be $750,000. So don't feel bad. Just keep at it.
Doug Clarahan's Jag is an awesome build.

The cluster of posts was just a catch up since I'd taken a hiatus from posting about the project on the boards. I've never owned an A body....but Supposedly slant 6 and v/8 A bodies were different sizes but the bushing sellers don't list them that way. The B bodies are supposed to be only one size, A bodies could actually be the smaller or the larger. Here are a couple links to help you and illustrate. Good luck. https://www.manciniracing.com/rearsprinsha.htmlhttps://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/help-with-leaf-shackle-bushings.367570/
