The fender extension fits the valance much better now, however there's still a little work to be done to the fender itself. Most of the work is done on this side and I will soon tare into the pass side!

The fender extension turned out nice. After you finish the passenger side, what's next?
More body work? Trial fit the motor and trans? I really want to see that motor between the fenders!

I want to see the motor in there too! I think I will trial fit it before I paint the frame...just to see if the a/c compressor clears. That's about all I'm worried about, everything else should be fine.

I'm really focused on plowing right through the body work and getting the interior painted, then the fun can start! Actually, I'm having fun right now!

I painted the engine silver a long time ago. Should I leave it silver or paint the block and oil pan black? What's your thoughts?

Use Ron's extra 1/2 gallon of paint on the motor.

Looking good Tony, will you have to repaint the entire shell after the tailpan mods?

Great updates Tony and good job on painting the engine. Can't wait to see it sitting in the engine bay.
Keep up the great work!
