You should run it just the way it is. Dont paint it. Looks pretty cool with the different color body panels.

Cool pics, Bob Riggle is such a nice guy! I met him a few different times, the first was in 92 or 93 at Brainerd International Raceway here in MN, he just built the 1966 in the first picture and I think this weekend was one of his first times out with the new car, and he drove it too. Me and 2 of my friends (I was 15) hung out in his pit area all weekend, he let us help him and even got pics sitting in the car. He gave all 3 of us Hemi under glass t-shirts and signed them, people thought we were part of the crew! Plenty of autographs, pictures and neat stories too, I will never forget it!!!

BTW, one story he had was how he wrecked the original 1966, when he crashed while running at an airstrip, he hit a light pole backwards and upside-down and the engine/blower got pushed into his helmet. Later after the car was scrapped, he saved lots of aluminum parts from the car (he said some fenders and bumpers too) in a shop. Well, shortly after someone came in and hauled all the aluminum in for scrap :banghead: he said he was really pissed!!
 
I'd like to talk on the phone sometime about that stuff maybe I can pick your brain a bit...I was readin articles from bob and from wild bill shrewsberry that originally drove the car and picked up a few hints, read about the wreck and how it happened with the front wheels not bein straight when she touched down...i came up with a remedy for that already

Man Waggs! great to see the progress go on. I wonder if a magazine or something would be interested in this, because i sure am.
 
well got the headliner in the 65 falcon done and was still daylight out so I pulled the cuda in the shop and installed the new driveshaft then got bored and did the adjuster for the transfer case and welded the spring percheas and cradle to the rearend housing...more boredome set in so time for some body repair to commence, roof is stipped completely and top of one 1/4 and almost the whole 1/4 on drivers side...we'll see what tomorrow bring's
