Thanks guys. Your support really helps motivate me.

I sent all of teh stainless window trim out today to get polished. Hopefully we can get the front and rear glass is pretty quick. I wanted to get that done before we go to final 5000 sanding and polish. 8 weeks to go and we are starting to close in on the goal.

I got the glass installed and looking sharp. Having the original stainless for the front and rear windows is the key on these guys. I think we got the gaps as good as they can get.

Next up was a final cut with 3000 and a wool pad followed by the hybrid Finesse-it II pad and compounds. Then the black waffle pad followed finally by the blue waffle and 3M micro polish. It's looking really flat and crisp. My guys are hitting a home run.

Looking good Dave!! Keep up the great worl! Remember, I'm only a phone call away if you need a hand! Look forward to seeing it on the floor at SEMA!

Looks great Dave!! We need some more shots of it sitting in the sun!!

paint work works great Dave,I would really like to see this one in person:trophy-1302:

Drove it home from the shop last night for the first time. I stopped and got gas and had two old guys that were out for a night ride on their Harleys stroll over for an inspection. They liked it and asked a lot of questions. Those interactions are my favorite moments of all and why I build old cars. Grass roots cars and grass roots people make for some good, warm conversations. I dig that.

My first impressions mostly came from the Ridetech suspension. I can't believe this car rides and handles as well as it does. It's super soft and plush over bups. I have the shocks at "9" out of "18" clicks and that seems like a decent balance for road work. Even with that iron giant under the hood, the car stays flat and feels really sharp. The alignment specs I put into it last night on our rack in my shop were:

L R

Camber .5* .5*
Caster 1.2* 1.2*
Toe .10* .10*

It seems pretty crisp as a starting point so I'll start there. It'll probably need a bit more camber and maybe a few tenths of caster more.

Now it's down to installing all of the glitz and getting the shots out in the sun you guys requested! 20 days!

Do you have any pictures of the finished car? Thanks
