Thanks Jason!

[rage59]

nice work on the vette I have one I am working on . I couldn't decide on the motor either so I am putting a rotary turbo motor in it

[Greg Pugh]

Got the exhaust finished up this morning.

 

[Greg Pugh]

Engine is done!

 

[Cpt Tuttle]

Nice work, I love that you tuned the six instead of falling for the temptation of swappin' it out for a V8.

[Greg Pugh]

Thank you. I'm really happy about that decision as well. It's nice to see and work on something different.

[Greg Pugh]

This is all assembled for the last time now and is just ready for the body. I just need to clear it and polish it. We're almost there now!

 

[Greg Pugh]

Oops! I seemed to miss this little detail! I was looking at pictures and realized that I missed the dash pad and the tops of the door panels. A little tedious but not bad. I will add foil now, mask off the red, and clearcoat.

Thank you for the encouraging comment on the Shelby !

This 53 Vette  is off the Hook Greg I will be watching until she is finished !

[Art Laski]

Nice-looking Vette, Greg!

[DumpyDan]

Nice work

[Greg Pugh]

Thanks fellas! I'm excited to be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel on this one!

[Greg Pugh]

Well, this will probably be the last post in this thread. I'm waiting on the windshield frame and headlight buckets to come back from Chrometech. I clear coated the body yesterday and will give it sufficient time to heal up and then she'll be polished out. Other than that...she's pretty much a wrap. Thanks for riding along and watch for this one in the Under Glass section soon.

 

[Greg Pugh]

This one is a wrap! Thanks for watching!
