I wouldn't worry too much about it. You could have easily put the guts of a '68 in a '67. I don't think that's much of a big deal. Tim

Looking good, Joe! I can't wait to see more progress. I picked up some Spaz Stix mirror chrome yesterday. Can't wait to try it out on my next build. Tim

Thanks Jim! I only planned on doing the front window tonight, but then I lost track of time. Lol. It should be ready for the show on the 9th of May. I'm excited to start the '65 Chevelle I have in the box. I bought everything today to cut the doors and trunk out and make them hinged and functional. I'm learning to slow down and put more into them and make them last a little longer. I bought some flocking material and Spaz Stix mirror chrome. Spaz Stix got some amazing reviews on YouTube, better than Alclad II. Metallic black with a combo light gray/dark gray interior. I think I spent $100.00 on paint and materials alone. Oops... Haha Tim

BMF around windows and door handles complete. Finishing stretch now... Tim

Incredible! Tim

I suppose you could lay your primer down on the interior, then BMF? I never really thought about not priming the interior in order to keep the details really clean in the dash, seats and the door panels. Primer and paint seem to fill up those details pretty quick. Tim

Great stuff, Jim. Excellent writeup! I will be incorporating some of these techniques into future builds, for sure. Tim

Wow! Looks great!!! Tim

Thanks guys! I should be able to get started with some BMF tonight... that and finishing up the little detailing bits. It doesn't have to be ready for the show until May 9, so no huge hurry. The extra time gives me time to think about the next move. lol Tim

Thanks guys! Stray - How is yours coming along? Tim

Thanks Jim! What I did on this one was yesterday I put some color in the panel line and wet sanded them out today. The reason I didn't put them under the clear coat was that if I made a mistake, I wouldn't be able to sand it out because I've never had any luck sanding a metallic colors. This is the first time I've attempted to do anything with color inside of them, so I figured I'd test a few different techniques out and see which one works best. With non-metallic base colors, I will definitely paint the panel lines under the clear coat. I guess the only good thing about putting them on the clear is you have a little wiggle room if you mess up with just sanding them out. Thanks for the tip, I'll take any I can get. Tim

Amazing! Tim

Different, but original. I like it... Nice build! Tim

WOW! This thing is super classy and clean. Love it! Tim

Very nice!!! Tim

Truth! Tim

Finally got around to some wet sanding and polishing. Pretty simple operation on this one... Started with 4000, followed up with 6000 and then Novus 2 and finished it up with Novus 1. No wax yet, but I will go back and fix a couple of the body panel lines with a light wash. The Novus 2 washed a couple of them away. Tim You gotta have a mirror pic. Right? And a little mockup of what is soon to be.

That's awesome, Joe! Those awards are a testament to your amazing attention to detail. Congrats! Well deserved!!! Tim

Thanks fellas! Next up: wetsand and polish. My favorite part!!! Tim

Any particular sizes? Tim

Awesome! Looking them up now. Tim

Yes! I use the braided line for emergency brake cables. Good stuff! Tim

Some interior updates... Tim

Jim - it looks like it's just a scaling issue. Unless the block and heads magically grow when it's bored and stroked. Lol Tim

It freaking has keys!?! lol Great work! Tim
