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!

Lookin good bro lookin good!!!! those small steps really add up by the end of the week. The extension looks like it belongs there now!!! Keep pluggin away

I found that the fender extension that was on the car when it was blue fit better so I worked with that one. This is what a repop fender and extension fit to the OE valance that was off Curtis' '67 fit like. Not so pretty!







I'm done with the fender to valance fitment. Still need to address the fender to fender extension where there's an inconsistant gap (both sides of the car). I also have modded the center valance support as well, so now everything bolts up nicely with no real pressure...that alone was a huge improvement!

I know for the pro's this isn't a big deal...but for your average drywall guy I feel good about the results!

Big improvement. The fit was way off! At least you had one OE part to help line everything up to.

Keep at it....I want to drive that bad boy!

Should we think of this as practice for yours?

I had another post here and then went back and read through the whole thread. I feel so bad that after all that time and how many times you have gone through this there were things that needed that sort of attention. You are a better man than I.
