Joe,
love the color! Can't wait to see it completed (as I am sure you are too). Where do the highback seats come from?

Got them at a swapmeet. Scat Procar seats.

It's all painted now except the hood. Once the paint dries, the painter will put it back together and buff it. Then I get it back. After I install the engine, I can figure out where to cut the hole in the hood for this:

Then I'll install the scoop and have the hood painted.

They look good, Rob! But I'm kind of fond of the look that the car had before.

Should be getting the car back from the painter real soon. In the meantime I want to show off some work I had done by a master craftsman. I had a grill built and it's beautiful. Thanks for the great work, Mike (somethingspecial)!!!

Hey Joe, what's the latest on your rebuild?? ... I'm kinda curious since it seemed you were close to making your comeback :thumb: ... BTW, I finally got my car into the bodyshop also, I hope and pray it comes out nice :smile: ...

 

[joedls]

Don't even want to talk about it. Hopefully will start on putting it back together soon.

Hey Joe.

What is the status of your car. Make any headway? Mike

 

[Batgirl89]

nice grill by the way!

 

[Mustanger]

Hey Joe,

Any progress on your car? I hope you can get it back on the road again, it was really cool seeing that blower under the hood scoop and the big meat tires sticking out the back :thumb: ...

 

[Batgirl89]

Joe How are you doing?

 

[joedls]

My car is on its way home. Still needs a lot of work but at least it's out of paint shop hell!

Very nice Joe, Can't wait to see it on the road again.

Hate to ask why the hood is not painted?

Not the hood I'm gonna use. I'm going to use a hood without the blinkers. After I install the engine and cut a hole in the hood for the scoop, then I'll have the hood painted. Need a hole to fit the blower.

Looking good Joe! Knott's next year?
