You go, guy!!! :blob:

It's a real lift, when you see your baby with fresh paint!!!
 
No doubt !! I happened to be able to watch him do a Plum Crazy Challenger,and man did she turn out Beautiful !!! So most definitely I'm Stoked !!But with all good feelings come bad ! I need to be over on the West Coast when my baby is done,so I won't be able to have it delivered (no motor) 'till next Monday or so !!

That time will pass quickly. The older I get, the more quickly it passes!!! LOL! And, I'm gettin' pretty old...:disgust:

Be SURE to post pictures of that bad boy; We all wanna see the fruits of your (considerable) labor!!!:happy1:

Kinda like the motor too,with all that I've invested,I'd rather let a Pro build it and tweek it for me !! Which by the way is headed out to be align bored and balanced just to be SURE !!

That will be a nice piece! I don't know, given the unusually robust construction of the slant 6 block, just how necessary that part was, but it sure won't hurt! I am so glad you said "align bored." I get so tired of seeing "line bored."
 
A few New pics of my baby !! Front fenders and doors are painted,he's hoping to get the rest of the car into the paint booth today !! WOO HOO,getting so much closer every day now !!!

That's GORGEOUS!!! Gonna have show-car status as soon as you get her bolted together!!!

You go, guy!!!:blob:
 
I'll be happy when he's done !! Got fender mounted turn signal lights going on and the stripe to do too !!:blob::blob::blob:
 
Had high hopes that it got painted over the weekend,but that didn't happen !!:sad7: But I did go check on it this morning,and it was in primer and being block sanded,so I guess that's good enough reason to be a little more patient !!And as for the engine,it was still out to be align bored and balanced ! But I was assured it would be back this week and next week it WILL be assembled !!! I'll be getting the 8.75 back then also !! Gawd I hate having to be patient !! I also will be waiting on my New 727 w/ Gearvendors OD unit,my 3500 stall speed convertor and 2 Aluminum Deep Oil Pans (one for my wifes 727) too !! Still need to decide what Ratchet Shifter I want to go with also !!:burnout: Have some more body work pics,just don't know how to operate this new fangled techno phone !!!
 
Base coat was on when I checked on it today,clear coat was next in the process this afternoon !! Buffing and polishing to morrow,and hopefully Thurs the stripe will go on !! I was really glad I went to check it out today though,as they were going to put my stripe on,then clear coat over it ! That's not how I wanted it,the stripe and the hood are supposed to be flat textured like the 'Cuda T/A's and AAR's !!!So I figure it will be coming home by the end of the week !! :blob::blob::blob::blob::blob::blob::blob::blob:
 
BeeYOOteeful color. I was just fixin to harp on you about all blah blah blah and no pics. We need more though. lol
 
Got to see the rest of the car in color earlier today,but of course didn't have my camera or cell phone with me !! Got to make my decision quickly on whether or not to do the Buzzin Bee in the strip or just leave the strip solid in case I end up needing to get rid of the car !! Not everyone is into the /6's like I am !!:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I decided to put my "turbo slant six" logos (see my avatar} on a magnetic strip and just put the two of them (one on each side) on the back fenders (just ahead of the taillight) when I am at the strip. racing it. They can stay in the trunk the rest of the time.

You could do something like that. Just stick it to a magnetic backup that will stay on the car when you WANT it on there.

I think most sign companies have that stuff (magnetic backup.)

Just a thought...:silent:
