I got out here this morning and got the hood and body hinge area cleaned up and looking good.  No more funky looking hinge.

Thanks.  I do like my Hot Rods Carl.

Good start Bob. That Iceman motor will fill the engine bay nicely.

Thanks Steve.  Yeah, the Blown BBC should fill up the business end pretty nicely.

Thanks Scott.  I always do this with a build...I'm starting to second guess my color choice.

The weather in the garage was right this morning so I got some primer on a couple 41 Willy's bodies.

Another good day for painting so I got after it.  The Tamiya TS-57 Blue Violet when down pretty nice.  After about 3+ days of curing out I'll then shoot the 2K clear over it.

The paint job looks beautiful Bob!👍

[rattle can man]

Looks great so far!

To clarify my remark about the Chevy: I'm a fan of odd engines.

Great colour, and looks like it laid down nice.

It did Steve.  I'm a happy camper on how it sprayed out.

Did a little mock-up this morning to see how the engine is going to set since I cut the mounter mounts off and took some meat off the frame rails  on the inside. I'm liking it so far.

Like how the scoop just does stick thru the hood.
