just plain awesome ... going to be so killer in black. Well done!

I appreciate everyone's positive reinforcement. I now go over and work on it everynight after work and weekends until it's finished. Fingers are getting alittle raw but getting alot accomplished these past two weeks. Not a very good photographer but you get the idea. The upper two pictures are taken through the booths dirty glass windows. Everything gets two base coats then wet sanded, then another two base coats and then five coats of clear. Next, a lot of wet sanding and buffing.
Todd I really appreciated you taking the time today to answer my questions. It was a huge help.

Looking good. Can't wait to see it when it's done.

any updates..this in one of my favorite projects- engine looks awesome- Chris

BTW-i want that van!!!

Looks GREAT!!!
 

It's coming along nicely Lenie!!! Engine looks great too! What are your plans for an air cleaner???

That is a beautiful car!!! I just found this thread and i must say, it is like you built what was in my head. The stance, the tires, the rims, all of it. Hope you don't mind if i use your car as a blueprint. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I couldn't help but notice the time line on the thread. this car has taken a while and that gives me hope. Starting to think i would never see the finish line, then POW- there's a picture of what i want.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hasn't been dynoe'd but predictions by builder around 540 hp and 600 ft/lbs torg.
Comp Hydraulic cam 236/245
Pontiac 400 stroked to 461
I'll send more details shortly, thanks for asking
Lenie

Thanks Corey, Chris and Ty.
Chris, really enjoyed seeing your car at Sema and the Mild to Wild show in Tacoma, very nice ride with great colors. I'll never get rid of the van, to many good memories. It's my next project.
Ty, I don't really know what kind of cleaner I'm going with yet, but I'm going to design something a little different.

Motor is in. Currently working on reassembly.

THAT'S IT- it's time for a drive over the bridge to check out the Bird- it is looking awesome!!- i am so glad you kept the Poncho.

BTW- I have an injection set up that came off of a 540cu boat that would work for ya

Lenie, Looking good! Will it be at the GG's show in July? I would love to see it!! :cheers:

A little more. I like the way the front valance turned out. Original fabrication back in late 2007 on page 5. Man, where has the time gone. Time to start assembling.

Looks good! More parts to the puzzle!! :thumbsup:

That's it!! I want to see more :bow: :willy:

Looks good Lenie. I agree about time going by fast, but it looks like you have reached the peak and your on the way down with the build. Gonna be nice when done.

The parts look great Lenie . I wish I was that far ahead. Sweet!

Very cool. Now let's get that bad boy together!! Just kidding Lenie.
Looking good.:thumbsup:

Dude did you say you live in Seattle? I'm near Spokane, can I drive over and check it out? I'll either bring my 67 or the 69 I'm looking at if I do buy it.

I think I asked over on PT.com but did you say you got that serp set up from Frank at prodigy? I can't find it anywhere.

Traven, I live about one hour SW of Seattle. It's a town named Port Orchard. If your ever going to be in the area, just send me an email and I'll get you directions. Your always welcome to stop by.
Lenie

Well heck yeah man, It's nothin but a 6 hour drive so I'll try to swing on over while I'm on leave in a couple weeks. So uh.....get that sucker done, I want to go for a ride lol.

Not great pictures but a little progress I thought I'd show you.
