b_lever1 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Posted September 3, 2013 Thinking of a colour,and going to go with twilight blue met,a Ford colour going to spray floor pan just to see the colour want dark blachish/blue
b_lever1 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 Able to lay some paint before supper, and gpt some pictures before sunset Not as dark as I wanted but is still a nice colour let me know what everyone thinks. now to spray thye frame and gas tank
b_lever1 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 Well I was letting the paint cure,got to makeing a bed for this first I have to make a sub floor because the interior is only about 2 inches long and the pan and frame are one piece holes where the rails and tank are,just used flat sheet to do that job.Then i used angle and flat sheet for the bed.But I wanted to see what it looks like with the wheels and body together , the mock up gives some in sight to the ride stance.Now I'm using the stock kit trans and the 66 nova engine have to flip oil pan for crossmemeber clearance and remake front of pan.Going to use stringray3 front drive and intake manifold.
