Looks good Mark. :thumbsup: Those wheels are awesome. Can't wait to see it after it gets painted.

Where does it actually get painted? Is there a booth nearby?

We are awaiting a few things to get into our shop. should be a couple weeks yet. for now we have already started Marks car in our shop at home. We'll be sure to post pictures along the way and when its in the booth for paint.:)

Paul made those stands in a couple hours, Went to Home Depot and got the wood and a box of screws.

Joe

Can't wait to see progress on the outside Joe! And tell Paul that girlfriends are a dime a dozen at his age...:lol:

It is going to be red. Debating between a couple shades. I always liked the color we put on the Thrasher.

LMAO!
I assumed that it was going to be blue.. per the title of the thread :lol:

Red should be cool! :thumbsup:

Red
 

Excellent choice Mark! Thrasher was the main car you built that inspired my build. Plus they don't call it re-sale red for no reason :thumbsup:

I always liked the BBS RK wheels that were on that car. And the red paint. What year was the thrasher finished?

Not trying to me a smart alec....but it's named the "Blue" bomber. :D

I think he actually called the car APEX, notice the thread starter was not Mark.

Not many people are a fan of Deep Fathom Green, they'll tell you its the wrong color to put on a car, but too bad, my car is DFG,

I agree with not mayn people being fans of that color, but done correctly, it'll look killer!!
Look at the car of the month for October, Paul Dykes car. Killer car and killer color. Not sure if it is DFG or not. Looks good for a green car though.:thumbsup: :cheers:

Mesmerized by shiny objects
 

I took all my old rusty bolts and had them acid stripped and zinc plated. I took bolts from all my old Camaros and other bolts. It is cool to have the original bolts clean and ready to install.

Mark

mark i need some bolts . can you share .
thanks rick k:lateral:

The Funny thing is. Mark could tell you where everyone of those bolts goes on a 69 camaro.:yes: Joe

I took about 30 lbs of bolts to Mid-State Plating in scenic Flint, MI. Mid-State charged me $100 for the box. The bolts can't have paint on them but a little light rust and grim is OK. Most of my bolts look like brand new. I have done the repo bolt deal and they are not the same as the take out fasteners. I have also done Totally Stainless Bolts and they are great and well labeled by area of the car.

Mark

That's a great idea. That's a ton of hardware for the bread.

Gentlemen!!!

Start Your Sorting!!

Eeeeehhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Ah, Mark can I purchase that one bolt on the right :question: :P

:lol: That's pretty good.

Fuel tank vent
 

Mark, what do you usually do about venting the fuel tanks on the cars that you build? I have read allot of info about venting on here, but it doesn't seem that allot of people are 100% happy with their vent system?
Thanks, Tony

I think I see the kitchen sink in there.

There in the kitchen sink, oh the memories of when I was still single.

I don't get it... where else would you clean a dirty part?? Dirty dishes... Dirty parts... no difference in my book... :thumbsup:

Mark, it might make your vendors' day to know how much excitement their service is causing on the world wide web! :lol:

I would like to hear your opinioin too for this. I dont even recall seeing vent in ricks tank at all ?

Parsons had went kit for sale but will it work with ricks tank?

We are looking forward to getting rolling on Marks car, We will be sure to take a bunch of pictures along the way. its going to be sweet all done.:thumbsup:

Paul

Paul, did you paint your car blue?

I was wondering the same thing? Is that the same car?

Rick there is a place in Garland called Sentinel Plating that I took all my hardware and all my aftermarket parts that were gold zinc and had them clear cad just like that picture. Very reasonable.

You know what I found out (a buddy showed me) about Cad plating?? It buffs up just like chrome!!

Of course - Mark likes his stuff "stock" looking... but just thought I'd toss that in there in case anyone cared.

Yes we did, its the same car and I changed the interior up, I have a few pictures I need to load up on my laptop and ill post them up, I was really hoping to have it a Chicago Good-guys. but I had a really bad miss. and ended up being a bad MSD Pro-Billet Distributor. but it ended up working out because I have a couple things I want to sort out over the Winter like shocks and springs, rear gear change etc...

Paul

Paul it looks good...what color blue is it? Looks like LeMans?

The last Rick's tank I got for Charley's JA vent worked with no proplems. We just hooked up a 3/8 line to the vent on the tank and ran it to the back of the car.

Earlier tanks I had to move the vent to the filler neack of the tank to get it to the highest point in the tank.

Mark

Are you using a 4-point cage?

Is it going to have a backseat?

What will the uses of this car be?

Thanks

Mark I'm useing a stock tank with this Aeromotive sump http://www.jegs.com/i/Aeromotive/027...ductId=1137105 Could I put the vent in the fuel fill tube with a check valve ?

Thanks for the PM. Any other cars that you have done have 4-points??
