any updates on this amazing car of yours?

Ordered a cool hood. Should be here soon and I can get back on track.

I hope you don’t mind but I’m totally stealing some of your ideas for my 65 Valiant!

Hood finally arrived. Had to do a little shaving here and there but overall nice fit. Been super busy at work moving into a new building but there finally some light at the end of the tunnel and should be able to paint this thing next week.

That looks like the same one I am using on my '65 Barracuda. Is it from VFN?

Okay, that's a division of Hot Rod Chassis and Cycle; they are building my Barracuda. The hood comes from VFN, just a few blocks down the street. Did you get the hinged or the pin-on version?

Hinged. It was a little more expensive.

Hinged. It was a little more expensive.

Yeah, that's what I am going with. A little more expensive, and 11 pounds heavier, not counting the extra weight of the hinges and gas struts--but a little more convenient for solo maintenance.

So I'm sure it wasn't your intention but after reading this entire thread I feel lazy and inadequate. Keep on Keeping on my friend!

If weather holds, going to paint this weekend!

Been working on a trunk mounted wiring panel.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Finally! Took the morning off and base coated everything. Cleared most everything. Will finish clearing tomorrow.

Hmm. Boost gauge is going on the pillar but I think that's it.

Great build.........great fab skills....

 

[diymirage]

I see now those two on top are also molded in
It looked like they were just sitting on there at first

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Boost gauge.

Car finally back on lift for assembly.
