If you use newspaper, get a small spray bottle from the Dollar Store, and use it to spray the newspaper with water mist before painting to help prevent the dust particles from ending up in your paint.
The detail on that engine is very impressive. Is that a Ross Gibson engine? That thing is huge! I love the idea of using a Caddy as a pro mod. Keep up the great work.
Nice work on the the fenders and recessed area for the spare on the driver's side. The wheel work is spectacular. I too am interested in what you used for the metal ring. I always enjoy watching your builds. Thanks for sharing.
Somehow I missed the updates on this last week. You're doing some fantastic work on this beast. I love all the scratch built goodies, but the steering is off the charts. Oops, wait a minute. I have to clean the drool of my keyboard.
