Yeah we're getting close!!! I would have liked to be in paint three weeks ago! But we were waiting on alot of things that made that impossible... It's gonna be down to the wire!! I could still use anyone's help that wants to come hang out and help!

I'll post up some shots from the booth this weekend. But after that nothing else till SEMA... I'm really wanting the whole wow factor for Ty the first time he sees it! We wanted to keep it hidden from him until the first day of SEMA for a big reveal, but he'll be riding out with us and will have to help clean it so I'll debut it to him at the shop before we leave... maybe! LOL

Once again thanks to all the supporters and to this great community for rallying behind this project!! :lateral:

Keep at it Chad! You can always sleep for a week once out west! But I'm sure you will have lots of energy during SEMA!!

I'll catch up on sleep on the 42 hour drive to Vegas!!! There'll be four of us so I'll get some rest on the way!! It's getting close. I've got to have the car in the trailer just 3 weeks from today!!!

New custom license plate will now be: FRDM BRD (Freedom Bird)

I couldn't get "CF-71" as it was already taken!! Unbelievable!

I've re-registered the car as Blue and have a temporary tag for it already... just in time for paint!

She said the new plates should be here in 7 to 10 days. So we should have them in time for SEMA!! (c:]

Sweet that you got the plates!! I keep calling on some for mine...but so far they are taken.

That plate is going to be really cool on there. How is the battle going this weekend? Do we get paint pictures soon?:unibrow:

I haven't seen any pics yet but the paint is flying and Chad should have some pics to post up soon... :thumbsup:

In the mean time here's the billet air cleaner that Kevin Swaney engraved for the car:

It's been a long weekend!! Had as many as five guys working on it this week!! WE finally got the final coat of primer on this morning at 1 AM!!! Then back up at 8:00 AM and back to blocking. Got through with the last bit of blocking at about 6:30 this evening. Had some dinner then blew it apart and cut in the doors and the jambs. Tomorrow we'll throw it back together and get it in the booth! Tomorrow by this time it'll be in color!!!

Overall 43 hours of bodywork, blocking and priming since Thursday!! It's been a long weekend and I'm spent!!

Pics in the morning...

That air cleaner looks great!

Chad, you guys are doing great with this project. Hang in there buddy. You are almost there!!:cheers:

I need a case of redbull and a 12 pack of Jelly Doughnuts!!! I'm running ragged!! Car is sitting in the booth and paints fixing to start flying!! Weather wasn't in out favor yesterday and held us from getting it in the booth. But were on it heavy today. Just got all the interior in my hands so it all ready to go in Wednesday when we get the car out the booth. Pics coming later!!:woot:
