Can't wait to see it in the sun, that paint is going to pop!

Nicely done.

I saw it yesterday in the sun and the metallic really comes out. It was not sanded and buffed and my reflection in the paint was great.

Ohhhhhhhh, shiiiiny!

[vstol]

shinny and no chips until its first road trip

Have not been idle but slow. I have started on the dash, I have the engine harness wired, I am waiting for a Stainless Steel fuel line to arrive which will go under the car, I am almost done with the trans tunnel so it will be time to wire. I am going with American auto wires 22 circuit kit and another decision is I plan on using Kore3 C6 Z51 caliber and rotors for the front vice the C4. I got my headers and side pipes back from Jet hot and they came out great.

Side pipes look great! I want to coat my headers in the same color. Is it satin black?

One suggestion, sit in the car before finalizing the dash if you haven't already done so. I'm worried about how far down the dash comes so far back from the firewall. It looks like it would be close to your legs as you move them about to press the clutch and brakes. Could be me though. Even though I'm 6' tall, I sit rather close to the steering wheel when driving. Keep up the good work.

This paint scheme reminds me of my old Tyco H.O. slot cars from the 70's/80's.
