Body work is comming along ..the body shop has over 200hrs in it as of now, and as you know the devil is in the details.... I also replaced the whole front clip with new metal as well....it would have all been assembled this week only the trucking company crushed the hood so i they sent it back and we r waiting on a new hood to arrive,but its looking great ....The engine is done and waiting its engine shop dyno time, which should be this week depending on the shops schedule. Then as soon as the engine bay is painted i will install the engine and tranny while its at the body shop...interior is in work..its all comming together as planned http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...dprimermod.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...ildprimer1.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...ildprimer2.jpg |

Yep..... but the expensive part is finally over now the hard work begins....
|
opinions needed.... do i go with painting the front and back window mouldings black or leave them stock stainless ?????

Leave them stock would be my way, I think blacked out moldings is so 80's LOL

I would leave them stainless.
