    ya, holy cow this sleeper is gonna be the death of me My goal is to have no seams visible on the 5 parts that make up the sleeper, I am sick of sanding/priming/sanding/putty/sand/prime/sand/sand/sand/sand........did I mention sanding??? to make matters worse, the tanker I am building to go along with this needs major putty work on the bottom to make it smooth/seamless, I must have lost my mind on this one, lol. how anyone could be a body man for a living is beyond me, lol, in all seriousness though, I am making progress. have one side of the sleeper just about smoothed out, frame is almost ready for paint and the motor is 1/2 together. should have some shameless 'look at me' pic's by the end of the weekend

    well, I guess since the merc's, '32 fords and 69 Camaro's have been done to death, it was time for a body style change. as mentioned, the execution of jamming all the parts together must be top notch fit and finish wise, but the total design does leave one wondering if that night in tiawanna [sp?] went on a bit too long.

    that's a 'henway'.

    well, I figure the latest round of re-issues is probably going to be the worst [as mentioned due to old tooling] I have a few 'original' issue kits, and some 2nd and 3rd issue kits, and some of the 'newest' re-issue stuff. you can sort of see the 'decline' in the end product thru the re-issues. but hey, that's half the fun right? [no, not really, lol, not a huge fan of actual body work ]

    thanks guys . the sleeper is taking a lot of body work, trying to get all the seams to disappear, and I hate actual body work it's looking ok though, hope to have some new pic's up this afternoon.

    thanks for all the info guys. while I mull over if I am going to box stock it, or change the items mentioned, I started on the body. got the main cab painted and have the hood in what's going to be the secondary color. still need to mask the hood and paint the main color on it. have part of the sleeper together, gonna need a lot of body work on it as the seems are terrible. here's where I am at with it,

    50 degrees yesterday, 40 and rain this morning @8 am, 10 degree drop in temp by 9am and snow, ended up at this point with about 8 inches of heavy wet snow. got out of work early [roads were horrible, took twice as long to get home as usual], and 'did' the driveway. scattered snow now, hope I do not have to do the driveway again in the am. c'mon spring.........

    as far as I am concerned, muscle car means light car [relatively speaking], big cubic inches. as mentioned, pony car/intermediate body with biggest power plant available. won't stop, won't steer, but when the tires 'hook', it goes like stink that is my definition anyway.

    I like the first one myself. good luck, I think color choice is always the hardest part of a build.............
