Thanks Carl! LOLOLOLOL!! Randy: Thank you as well. I actually primed the hood yesterday morning. The bottom side looked great but the exterior surface looked like I sprayed gray Rhino Liner on it. I stripped it all off yesterday, cleaned all the brake fluid residue up and I'm back where I started now in the pics above. Will try to re-prime this morning. As far as hockey goes he's a "squirt" and he's still in the "learn to skate" program but he's all heart and that may just be enough. We'll see where it takes him. This is almost monumental considering that I tried to prime this yesterday and the exterior of the hood turned out looking like somebody sprayed gray Rhino Liner on it. I have since stripped it all the way back down to the plastic and now have re primed. I ended up pinning the hood scoop so it will be a lot easier to install once everything is painted.

That turned out great for a two day build. I wouldn't have been even 25% done with the motor in two days. lol . Nice job Chuck! P.S. Just how many actual hours do you have in that build?

Sorry I missed you guys. Thank you Ira and Cliff!

Once you get a paypal account, life will change for you in the ebay world..........................dramatically. I'm like a frikkin kid in a candy store in that place. The scary thing is once you have a PayPal account set up and link it to Ebay is that it's so dang easy to buy stuff. Too easy really!!

That frame color is cool!!! Great build so far James!

Lookin' top notch so far Dan!!! I'm really liking the alclad. Man I shoulda bought some Alclad chrome while we were at the show!!!! Lookin' forward to more bud!!

Well the hard efforts of Saturday night at the hotel and this morning have paid off finally. I've got the cut out cleaned up and ended up having to shave some plastic off of the bottom of the hood scoop so that the chrome air intake horn would clear the scoop. That thing is tight on the clearance!!! The scoop is only about .032" thick now in the center and I started with .058" !!!! I have the holes drilled in the hood and in the edges of the scoop so I will be able to pin it in place to make things easier to install later. Still gotta prime it and paint but here it is so far:

This day goes out to all who have fallen.

Carl: I've got a schedule to keep you know. . We got back home yesterday around 2 or so. Man I was scratching all night at the hotel after you posted that. lol . I managed to get the cut out in the hood completed and now have to clean it all up. Greg: You betcha!!

That JC......is totally awesome!! Man that's a busy interior!!

Looking really good Fred!!!! I like that rack and pinion steering as well as the color!!!

Man Tim you've got no kick comin' with that! Interior looks great!!!!

My son and I are in Sugarland this weekend for a hockey tournament that he is playing in and wouldn't you know it that I brought along the travel work bench items.......I'll have that hood completed this weekend with the hole cut out for the carburetors and cleaned up. In my die hard fashion:

If a 4 cylinder Camaro ever came through the dealer for service I never saw it. They've had 3.6 liter V6's until recently. I do remember those SVO Mustangs ...man those were lil' smokers back then for sure!!

Monty: I applied a couple of misting coats on first and allowed to dry for about an hour and then shot the finishing coats on. I've got an article on it if you or anyone else are interested. Jim: Thanks man! Hope your trip goes well. Back to engineering progress this morning. Nothing worth takin' pics of yet.

Thanks Bruce! That open wheeler of yours looks great. Say................I know a thread where that build would fit perfectly!!

Man those tires look great Andy!!

Keep at it there Justin. The build looks great so far man! Hopefully work'll settle down for you soon.

Lookin' good from this angle John!

Both of these cars are beautiful and deserving of the attention they attract. The second one though.......................now that's an aggressive looking car.

Great to have you aboard Gary! Build away bud!

Tim: I've got some time between now and the clear coat but I'll keep you posted on that. JC: Thanks man! I used to attempt to make the most out of the molded detail but it just aint worth it these days. Carl: I appreciate it man. I'm using Model Master Dark Red in the spray can. Learned a couple of tricks with the rattle can usage along the way and so far... it's working. Dan: Man I hope so. Thanks BTW

I'm on the edge of my seat here John.

Great subject and will be looking forward to the build!

I can't wait to see how this is gonna wrap up. More pics please brutha Ira!!
