Thats the car largely in primer. I have block sanded it three times since then and still have more to go.

I shot the door jambs trunk and engine bay the blue it'll get before finish sanding. Its getting a custom PPG blue thats pretty close to Intense Blue Pearl but it will get shot over a silver base with more pearl added in the primary two clear coats and topped by two straight clear coats to wet sand and protect. So far I have done every bit of the work myself. Its not perfect but is coming out pretty nice.

This is the last pic I have so far. The wells have been cut for the tire, but NOT finished yet. I have been working on a 57 Chevy for a body guy to get his car going. In trade I get to use a booth for a weekend to actually spray the car in. I'll try to post some more this weekend of the engine in the car and closer to finished wheel wells - since hopefully his 56 Sedan will be done so I have some time. Thanks again.

Finally got the rear axles and everything mocked up and tacked together. Still working on the body and getting money for more parts. Hoping by Memorial day it will be ready for paint. The end goal is to hopefully make the Martin Chrysler Classic in July. We'll see.

Another of the side. I really like the stance now.

One of the motor. It's a little dirty. I ordered some new Firecore wires for it, and I have to do something with the purple throttle bracket yet too.

I like your work. I am in the planning stages for a 67 Barracuda 4sp for Nostalgia Super Stock. What brand of front fenders and hood are you using? Any fitment issues? What brand of headers any tubes through the inner fender panels? Being an old Stock eliminator guy I am planning on using Cal Tracs for the rear suspension. I just want to run high 9's.I don't think it will be a problem with 512 stroker and a light car.

Yeah me and the competitior were fine. Would have much rather it just been my car. That 67 Nostalgia SS sounds cool. I have AAR front glass that fit really well with only a few adjustments and filler here and there. The headers are TTI and what a pain in the A! I didnt want tubes in the fenders so I did the under chassis TTI's and had to dent them for the starter, the torsion bars and my drag link is very close. I hear the newer versions fit better. Keep us updated on your car. A word of advice on the sticks/clutches. Spend whatever you need to at the outset to get a good clutch. I fought for years trying to use S/S clutches and finally went to a sintered iron adjustable. Tim Hyatt is an awesome guy to talk to and so is Rob Youngblood. Everything in them anymore revolves around the clutch. I'll post some more pics soon. Somehow it's 90* in MI and my fat butt is sweating to death sanding and welding all weekend.
