parki Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Well hears where I'm at so far. Got the body in primer. Needs rubbing down and redoing though. Got a few wrinkles in it! I've also got the engine mocked up so I can workout where to modify the front cross member, so as to clear the oil pan. I also need to make some engine mounts. Also started painting the wheel centers yellow, they will have a very thin clear orange wash over the yellow to replicate how Barris use to paint chrome wheels back in the day. Stay tuned for more.
