I hope to be autocrossing it some time this fall. I have 95% of the car at my Dad's shop at home waiting for final assembly. The trick will be getting the final 5% done in a timely manner. This is my first build from scratch, but I have heard enough stories about the last bits and pieces to scare me! I am very fortunate to have friends that have done this and have a lot of experience. In the meantime, my Dad and I have the 65 Corvette to play with. :D

Here are a couple more updated photos.

Bo, our shop Foreman and lead on the build at the body shop, came up with a nice way to break up the outer color (Orange) and the cage color (grey). The raised line on the outside is the same width as the top of the door.

Here is a view from above to see the swelled quarter panel and flare. You can also see the body line on the cage to outer quarter panel and the top of the door.

Very nice. Car is going to turn out awesome!:thumbsup:

Man, not sure how I missed this one either.... Found while starting to do some research on the CP class. I think I've decided to turn My '71 Chevelle/garage shelf into a CP car. This thread has given My some great idea's like robbing banks, screwing retirees out of their 401k's, beating up 3rd graders for their lunch money.....

Seriously though, this car is absolutely awesome. Too bad it's not done so you could bring it up to Packwood for the National Tour this weekend, I know the Maier's will be there. I plan to go over the 10 or so CP entries with a fine tooth comb looking for idea's. Just promise Me You wont bring it up here once I do start running My car in a few years.

lollllllll........:rofl:
Tell me about it!:yes:

Dan,

Thanks for the laugh and good words.

The Maiers will be there and Mike is a wealth of information. He is now running the front suspension he designed for my Camaro. My car will not be ready for this year, but, I can not promise you I will not be there next year. :D It will be going to the SCCA Nationals next year and some west coast traveling.

The body just went into the paint shop for primer. The front end is not completed yet, but soon! I will post some photos later today or tomorrow.

Looking forward to more pics:bow:

The body has made it to the paint shop! We are in the prime and block stage for the doors and behind. The fenders and nose will be completed after the back 2/3's and ready for paint.

Here are some shots before primer. We will prime tomorrow.
