Yes put a shot of clear between colors over the tape, it keeps the next color from running and leaves a crisp clean line. I have not had any problems with peeling. I hve found that the tamiya tape is the best, its sicks great but leaves no residue.

Looks Great Bud!!

Looks like the clear coat trick worked good for ya! Cant wait to see it finished!!

Better put a deep-core radiator under there. The basic 352 radiator couldn't cool that big powerplant! That is why they developed the 352 for the 1510sq inch radiator, the puney 950sq inch rad just wouldn't do it.

I doubled the depth of the radiator , I just have to finish it and make a tank for it. I tryed goin wider but I couldn't with out cutting into the interior bucket. I guess that's why I need to make me some 352 H's lol

Well d'uh.. if I'd had looked at the rad instead of drooling over the motor I'd had seen you made it nice and deep. :unsure:

can you imagine driving that through new york city.hey dennis i put some pictures of a beam and a lowboy that i pull around in the 1;1 section under detachable gooseneck. if you do hook it to a beam or a lowboy.i would be more than happy to take more pictures if you needed them. and that is an awsome build.
