32 5-WINDOW

Well here's the start and I am just playing with the wheels right now and yes it has a Hemi.

I shot some primer on her and I really like it .... NOOOOO not a Ratrod !!!!!

I am stripping all the chrome on the valve covers getting them ready for their treatment.

This will be a quick show on how I did the valve covers, first I foiled the fins

Shot them with flat black.

Then just erased the paint off from the fins and here's how it is turning out so far.

Waiting on the headers and carbs to come out of the stripper so I can get them done and on .

This won't be a Bill Geary build but I hope you like it and thanks for looking

[Dr. Cranky]

Looking good so far. It's got the making of a sweet ride. Keep it going.

The valve covers look GREAT!!

Thanks for sharing,

I just picked this kit up today and when I cracked it open I thought that I would use the supplied small block. I also won a resin manifold and carb set at the MAMA club meeting raffle and thought that it would come in handy somewhere along the line on another build. After seeing this post I have decided to use the HEMI. Your valve cover treatment sold me!

Did you beat someone (unnamed, or was he?) to the punch with the trick on the valve covers? It was a good one! That mill looks STOKE! Gary

This is how I do all my script so I ran with it.

I'd heard of doing foil on scripts before paint, but the valve cover trick is super cool, thanks for sharing that. I've got a set for a Ford SOHC that I'm going to use that treatment on!

[walt francis]

Just some progress on the motor and got the wheel wells in and trunk lid

I hate wiring engines I would rather foil five cars

These are the headers I will be going with and the color

borrowed these from GMP site

[Dr. Cranky]

Super cool. Great details and work so far.

Ok Guys heres a litlle update , since you last seen it I found the resin wheels I want to use and got some of the paint weathering done but I have a long ways to go, and I thought weathering would be easy "BOY was I wrong" so if you guys have any tricks up your sleeve let me know.

[walt francis]

Got the interior painted and foiled
