That looks killer Wayne. I'm happy for you.:thumbsup:
I would really like to check it out when you get it back and start working on it. I bet it's going to look killer when done!:yes:

WOW...looks so sweet.
:wow: :wow: :wow:

Alright! Now we're talking!! Thanks for the update and pics! It looks great!

That paint will look fine on the dash...depending on the direction you go with the car. It looks like the semi-gloss that we used throughout on my car.

:willy: :captain: :willy: :cheers: :willy: This is great Wayne !!Won't be long now!!!

Hey Wayne, Just getting caught up reading this thread...Car looks great, we need more updates!

Thanks Eric. Its suposed to be getting close to comming home.

Good to hear Wayne. Just in time to fill that sweet new garage.:thumbsup: :cheers:

Ok Wayne or Mike....time for an update! Mines almost home...it's your turn now!! :cheers: :thumbsup:

I know Mikes hard at work finishing up Waynes car.! Wait until you see this badazz!!!:wow:

Well, that's good news! :thumbsup:

Last time I sent him an E Mail he said he was getting close. OH BOY!

WOOOO-HOOOOO!
Great to hear Wayne. Very nice indeed.:yes:

Wayne... What rear setup are putting in the car?

Mario I have an Air Ride four link with coil overs and a Chassis Works Fab 9 with big Ford ends.

Did Mike do the same Fab 9 as mine?

Mine is going to have the back brace and the brackets for the lower links welded on insted of the spring perch brackest. If I remeber thats the same way you went. My wheels are going to have a 5" back space what back space did you go with?

That is awesome Wayne. I can't wait to see pics of the beast. :thumbsup:

Yep Mike set mine up for the Quadra link.. I will be setting the rear end in next week to start the offset measuring prosess. Getting ready as we speak to start welding up the tubs!!

I'll be watching for your updates.

I did forget to ask you what color you were going with:question:

Mario, thats one of the hardest things to decide. I like the orange that Chris Festler put on the 65 Mustang fastback he did last year I think its a Lamborghini color. I also like the red on the C6 Corvette. But its a tuff decision.

Is Mike painting it ? That Vette red is perfect for that car.. The Lambo orange is a tri coat,big $$$$$$ color....:faint:

No I don't have enough to have Mike paint it. I wish I did. The C6 non metalic Red is leading the color choice. I'm leaning towards something easier to touch up beacuse I'm going to drive the car. Before it was taken apart I used to keep it drivable all winter. When ever the road was of clear of salt I would get it out and go for a ride. I'm hoping to do the same when its done.

Great choice Wayne!! When your ready for paint you give me a call! I have to take care of my fellow MCC guys...:cheers: Do you have a shop picked out yet:question: If so ask if they use PPG..:lateral:

Mario Thank you . I do have a shop picked out Jenning's Garage its a friend of mine. We've been friends since I was 16. He does any accident and paint work for the family. I'm pretty sure he uses PPG but I'll check to be sure.

It is so cool to see your car get to this stage. That red is a gorgeous color. This is an awesome car. It is almost there.

Let me know when your ready!!!

Well it been quite a while sense my last update. This is a good one. I got some great news from Mike at MCC yesterday. The car is close to being done. He had told me he would take care of me for the extra time he took doing the car, but this is way more than I expected. The car was supposed to get the EDP stripped and epoxy primed and undercoated. I didn't have the money to have Mike prep it for paint. So He's going to prep it for paint for me to make up for the extra time he's had it. When I get it back it will only need blocking and paint and the body will be done. Plus he said were square on what I owed him. I can't beleive it. He contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I needed the trans tunnel raised for the T 56. I asked him how much it would be to do it because I saw that Rich ( 67ragtp) needed the extra room.. He said he would take care of it. This will help me out so much.

Mario has offered to help me out with the materials to paint the car, I don't know how to thank him. It feels like this is finnaly going to come together.

Here are some pictures of my parts.

Thanks guys. I'm "gitty like a school girl" hearing that from Mike. I always try ot be patient . All of your builds helped a lot. I've learned a lot and changed the way I had planned to do things because of posts you guys have made. I'll probably be looking for more info when I get it back home.
Rich; I'm leaning towards the C6 corvette solid Red with black stripes. I Think !
Thanks For all the kind words.
