Great job Ryan. This is one build that I can't wait to see how it turns out. Keep up the good work.

Any picks of the interior (lightning rod setup)?

Looking good Ryan. Can't wait to see this one done. Any plans for attending some of the C/C events this year? I wanna see this one in person!!!

The car will be BEAUTIFUL when done but i still LOVE your old dart!!!!!

Hey RJ, please dint take this the wrong way but your fuel reg and lines look scary close to the header, even with the exhaust wrap with the hood closed on a hot day cruising, that fuel set up is gona see a lot of heat, We have been doin turbo diesels in boats for 20 years and dry exhaust runs get unbelievably hot over time with a light load, Is there any way of movin that stuff to the back side of the fender?

Keep 'em coming

Looks good, Ryan. Going to have to check the car out in person, the next time we come up.

Looks good in primer and i like the way the tires sits under her

It's blue now.... I have not got to see it yet since it came back from second coating of clear coat. I stopped by on Friday afternoon & saw it through dark window & was being wet sanded, by today I'm sure it's been buffed out. I'll stop tomorrow, & maybe get some pics if I can. I'm going to Vegas for a week on Tuesday, so hopefully while I'm gone the top will get installed, glass back in etc. So when I get back it might start to look like a car again.....

that thing is hot bro perfect street car good job cant what to see it done

Well it's in color... for 2nd & final time (hopefully) Had a mixing issue on one of early coats of flake the first time it was shot & all had to be stripped & re-done.... but it's shot & looks good.

It's a Ford Metallic blue of some vintage (we'll try to keep that mum) & then 6 coats of clear with .015" Kustom shop "deep marine blue" flakes & then 6 coats of clear over that.... Came out nice, I told the painter, don't be shy with the flake, I don't think you could over-do it for my taste. I think he got good amount on it.....

The flake is really hard to see in the pics, my digital camera goes nuts trying to take pics of it, with the way the flake reflects light @ crazy angles, the camera does not know how to "absorb" it. So in most pics it just looks like a medium metallic blue, but when you see it in person, it really pops, depending on the angle of view & the lighting....

In garage under fluorescent lights, the flake does not stand out alot, unless viewed @ an extreme angle, but outside in natural light you noticed the flake at almost all angles except a few.... The sun had started to go down behind trees this eve. when I was there taking some pics, making it little darker looking.

I did take couple extreme close ups of the panels to show the flake density....

The new white top & glass should go back on next week sometime & stripes probably the following week. Decklid should be on tomorrow, & hood this weekend..... Dunno when I'll get airbrush artist up to do some airbrush work on side of the cowl, maybe in week or 2.

We still have to make new bumper brackets for rear bumper, the front fenders are not fully aligned yet, he's having heck of time getting them where he wants them... But finally starting to make some progress, now that the paint issues are resolved.....

When camera hits the flake it does what it did in this pic in middle of fender, it just shows up as a bright "glare spot" where as in person, you are seeing the flake glitter/sparkle like crazy in that area....
