Now that is something I have yet to see!!! I've seen a stagecoach or two but not this.

I always love watching these builds of yours come together Jim!! Keep the pics and progress coming.

Looks great so far Blair!

Looking very much forward to the progress Ray!

Whadda paint job!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!

Paint and BMF work look great!!

That paint job is electric and the engine detail is just outstanding!!!! Top notch build man!

Looks like it was made that way.

What does one say that hasn't been said yet? All I'm gonna add here is that this is friggin' way cool!

Thanks Greg! Well I ended up shooting some paint late last night on my hood and scoop. I've still got some work to do on the clean up and polishing of it as I've got some dust particles in the paint and one or two small bubbles to contend with but with a little finesse I think I'll be in the green. I'll just set this aside for the next couple of weeks and then start to work on smoothing it all out. Mean while I'll turn the attention back to the brake linkage as I think I have that one figured out now.

The paint is turned out masterfully!! The BMF job is what I'm zoomin' in on though. Nice and smooth!!!!

Dang that was quick Ray! Looks great man!!!!

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:
