Hope all is well with everyone, just  a little update on my 66 Galaxy. I have opened the hood and trunk, hood forward tilt. I have smoothed all seams removed all emblems except the front fender badge. Removed both wipers and filled and smoothed the cowl vent. Removed and filled all window trim to hopefully give the look of a flushed mounted windshield and backlight. I trimmed down the A pillars a bit just to lighten the look of the roof, little work done on the rear seats wraparound. I will be attaching the front bumper and grill assembly along with the rear bumper to give a completely smoothed and seamless look to the entire body before putting down any paint. Bumpers have also been smoothed and the front bumper license plate area/opening has been filled to give a one piece smoothed look. Still need to prime and check everything but pretty much of all the pieces for final assembly have been mocked up fitted are ready to go. Of course I will be keeping my fingers crossed because, as we all know.....during fabrication everything fits soooo beautiful but add a little paint and.....oh oh what the hell happened😉Thanks for looking.

I really like it. Post more chassis pix when you get a chance. I like the wheels too.

Thank you SS really appreciate your feedback. Will post again when all is primed. The wheels I 3d printed they are the wheels I saw at SEMA on a Buick Grand National. Thanks again
