NICE CAR & COLOR!!!!
I love the 572 Chevy motor. Do you have any video clips of start-up/idle/revving? I would LOVE to hear that beast!!!
Again, nice car.

Travisb
I agree on 3/16 to 1/4 that for gaps. I guess I should have asked if doors should have same gap from bottom to top, matching left door and right door gaps also? Also the hood may not be the same gap as the door but should match it self left and right? Keeping in mind this was not a bolt on paint type of job. My car is not finished so do not take this as a negative commoment on builder I just wondering what other people opions are. thanks

may just be panel adjustment. We spent a couple days aligning panels on our camaro. To have a diff hood gap size is fairly common as well as the decklid unless lots of time was spent clsoing up the gaps. Car looks great man hopefully they can door some more adjustments and get it were yo want it. Most cars if they are driven much loose some of there gap here and there anyway just the nature of the beast.

thats what I though it just a matter of spending the time during build working it to match. This is a show car thats why the bottom is finished like it is and I want the body to be the best for shows.

Well today was one of the worst experience I ever had. When to pick it up at chopshopcustom and it had 8 large chips in paint a couple filled as if it was done with finger nail polish brush, three 1" look likes hairs in clear coat, lots of small bubbles but under clear coat, scratches everwhere and some of the paint is only green no orange and I don understand why it would be green only? After having to pull one of chop-shopcustoms employee away from pushing my wife and all of his guys telling me you only spent 40,000.00 so we can not fix the chip and of stuff and Lenny saying screaming at his guys and me he said he could fix that but it would have to be in the future. I know I'm picky but macco painted my chevelle and it came out PERFECT NOT GOOD BUT PERFECT. Anyways I guess it going to need to be painted again. I have a nice 15 footer paint job. The metal work was extremely good. This is my first time I have ever been taken for a ride and it sucks. To upset to post pictures today so maybe tomorrow. Does anyone know of a good honest place local to south shore in Boston to get it repainted? What a ****ty day.

Sorry to hear that bud, your car was looking pretty awesome. $40K for paint and body seems like alot, so I would expect perfection as well. Good luck with the next steps.
