Thanks all! Had equal amounts of free time and motivation today to tackle the back half. I didn’t intend to do this but found it to be the best way. More room for a proper 4-link. Will add a fuel cell between the rails. Also roughed in the dripped spindles so the front is at least “rolling” now.

I made a little more progress on this one a few years ago...some stuff in primer. I actually tried painting the body too but had some poor results and had to start over. I think it's still in a basecoat, with pearl yellow being the end goal.

Got a pretty cool spray booth setup to help control fumes and overspray. I had much better luck painting the Camaro this morning than I did with my GTO project, but at least one of them turned out well. First I sprayed it Daytona Yellow, then yellow pearl over that though its hard to see in the pictures. Paint from Scale Finishes. It might get the lightest of color sanding to remove a small amount of trash before clear. I thought it was going to be too light of a shade, and it's still lighter than I was planning on but I do like it.

Been thinking about building something like this and using a Pearl Yellow color so I'm interested in how your paint work turns out. Like the way you did your back-half on the chassis.
