Engine sounds mighty healthy, What color is the wrap you put on the car ?

That wrap is sweet...

Thank you. The wrap is a brand named Avery and it's titanium brushed metallic. I went this route to cover a crappy red paint job on the firewall another guy tried to do and to help make the car look decent while I save up to one day afford a professional job.

Great build! My first car at 16 was a 69 Chevelle that unfortunately got away a long time ago. Love the body lines on them and yours is coming along super cool.

I'm thinking to wrap my car too, wondering if this was your first time wrapping and how difficult / easy did you feel it was?

My car base paint will be satin black and our local vinyl supplier said he wasn't sure that wrap would stick so well to a non gloss finish, did you see any troubles there?

Thanks for any insight and I'm subscribed to follow along!

The wrap is easy if you take your time. it gets harder on the smaller parts but my car was just in primer that has been sanded smoother. Seems to be holding on good. I used a 3m sealant on the edges to keep it from coming up. The only problem is it can scratch and tear easy. Ive already put a nice scratch on drivers door by trying to hand the front fender. But i did have a guy from craigslist do the majority of my wrap. you can see him in the pictures. i think from 5 ft out you cant really tell its a wrap but i will take some pictures this weekend of it out in the sun so we can all see what it really looks like.
