This last picture is an excellent example of why you powder coat or paint the fuel tank black on these cars. HAHA

Back to work.

Looks wicked. Black on the tank for sure. What do you suggest to clean up the look of that brake reservoir? :lmao:

Good to meet you at GNRS. Congrats on the sales.

It was nice meeting you also. I was amazed we went all weekend with that unpainted reservoir on the firewall and no one puked or passed out. Greg did not even say one word about it either. Maybe he was saving his comment for Latg blog post.

It's about time.
 
We have been hammer down getting the fab work wrapped up on this project. It really is coming together nicely. For a restored paint job 1970 Chevelle with a vinyl top it is turning out pretty slick. I can't wait to get this this car on the road and enjoy it for what it is intended to be.

Here are some pictures of the progress.

The Aluminum interior package we set up. We used door handles from a Jeep and are building the interior panels from Aluminum.

We ordered a set of Firewall down bar parts from Holohans Rod shop to use for the down bars. There parts are very nice. I could not find any other parts that would work as well as these. They make a great addition to the look we are going for.

The inner fenders have been widened and reshaped to accept this big of a tire at the ride height. But the results are awesome. Broc knocked them out of the park. And they look factory.

We are getting the exhaust system all wrapped up. I love a properly built stainless exhaust. Henry did a great job on it.

The chassis as a complete roller. There are more trick in the chassis then any frame we have ever done to get it the car to sit like it does.

Finally if you have not seen the complete gauge cluster, it is amazing.
