The paint is going to be a simple one Color something like a deep burgandy or ruby red. Carter is working on some renderings for us. Can't wait to see what he comes up with.

When we got home on Saturday. Kenny called me to tell me that he and already cut the exhaust off and re-routed it above the axle and out the side. These guy's are cranking.

Did I mention that my Dad couldn't have been happier with the progress of the car and the group of guy's working on it. He even said he was thinking about flying down there every weekend just to hang out.

we have about 30hrs in the front bumper alone . we removed about 1.25 in from the width of the front bumper and made it 1 piece and removed the " bullets " and the recesses under the bulletts . then we metal finished the bar because it will be chrome so it had to perfectly straight . then we lazer cut some new bumper mount that are smooth and weld to the rear of the bar .
now we do the same on the rear bumper ,it not going to be as easy as the front .
then it ready for paint
