well its been far far too long since my last update. ive been kinda treading water on it for a little bit, but im started to near the end. i had a couple "oops" deals when wetsanding and buffing so i had to touch them up and put on an additional three coats of clear to make sure it wouldnt happen again. finall got the car all buffed out and cleaned up. im pretty impressed with my garage paintjob. theres a few imperfections but in the sun it looks great. i started finishing up the hood and decided that a molded cowl would function and finish better then my homemade version, so i knocked that out( hood is currently in primer.) its a 3.5" harwood scoop. it looks big in the pictures being unfinished but in primer it kinda gets swallowed up by the cars massiveness. i finished the air cleaner assembly, it just needs buffed and striped. decided to add a little high tech to my rather old school car with some painted on carbon fiber look.( i just wanted to see if i could do it, havent decided if i should keep it or not). also got the wheelwells sprayed in bedliner, for protection and to have a nice backdrop for the wheels.












and a vid of it idling. i have since pulled the race bullets off and put some flowmaster 40s on it. they had such an awful drone and for some reason they sounded like a tractor on this video. my camera didnt pick up any of the low tones. i also fixed that ticking exhaust leak since then.


sorry for the book but ive been needing to update and i hope you guys like what you see.
