Thanks Keith

Thanks guys. We used Rally Matte Black. Looks awesome IMO. Way better in person.

Who is the manufacturer of the Rally Matte Black paint. Or is that the manufacturer? I really like the look. :thumbsup: Thanks. Keith.

Things are coming along nicely. This week Chris and Jim finished;

Rear brake lines
Installed the rear brakes
Installed the fuel pump and filter - they fabed up a nice piece to mount both together
Installed the fuel regulator and new engine fuel line
Finished up the AirPod controller mount insert for the ash tray and painted it
Tig welded the newly modified Doug's headers to work with the Tru-Turn kit. We had to reroute tubes on both sides. What a PITA. Need a new starter now too since the solenoid is now too close to the header tube.

This weekend / next week they are installing the core support, radiator and hanging the front sheet metal. Should be firing her too. She has been quite for tooooo long.

3 weeks until Autorama....

Keith, it is a Spies Hecker product. Can get it from any automotive paint supplier that sells Spies. DuPont Hot Rod Black is close and easier to find.

I went with the Rally Matte Black from Spies because that is the brand of paint we used to shoot the car with. Great stuff.

We are two weeks from the Autorama so I thought I would check in with the guys and see how things were coming along. It's all hands on deck with the whole crew working on Johns 68, the 37 and my car.

As you guys have seen, Johns Bloodline Camaro is coming along nicely. The stripes turned out awesome. The pictures don't do it justice. Looks so awesome in the sun.

We are still over coming a few obstacles like trying to get the correct hard lines for the VA front runner compressor. We've been back and forth with them a few times and hoping to get the right setup next week. Got the core support and radiator on.

As you can see, we are waiting on the Ridetech Muscle Bar so we can complete the Tru-Turn install and wrap up the front suspension.

Still finishing up the wiring

THAT is a great post Jeff! So much happening all at once. I know what a show deadline is like: not enough people and not enough hours in the day. That assumes all the parts are on hand :lol: I'm sure you guys will make it. It'll be epic!...:cheers:

very very nice! The anxiety is killin me.

very nice , I especially like the silver and the fine lines on the nose

Both cars look great, good luck making it to the show. :thumbsup:
