I'd love to check this out in person one day. I still remember the talk we had at the Border when you imported one of your cars.

I might take you up on that. My project is slowly coming along, cash builds will do that. Car's been to the body shop and everything is straight and primered. The car awaits it's drivetrain and brakes. Then back to the shop for final block, paint and glass install.

You should Joe, we'll be chipping away at things up here over the break,, call me and we'll set it up....

Just a quick shot of Tony holding the nose up to the car for a quick test fitment on the front clip... Work to be done, however overall it should line up real nice in the end result without to much fussing around... The condensation spots on the hood are from the hood reacting to a warm room after being transported in the back of an open pickup down to Tony's...

Well it sure feels like Christmas to me around here as so many good things are coming together this month... Work on the Cherokee Soldier, WarPath, the 53 Caddy series 62 and my new little surprise for ya'll, ""White Lightening"" (details to come soon) are moving along nicely... We've selected a color mix for the Cherokee Soldier and it's really very exciting as a color goes... The color it's self (as you can see here) shifts with light so nicely that I can't wait to see the car painted... While relaxing upon getting home last night I did a super fast edit of the ride height (and it likely won't be that low) for for fun....

Tony and I spent some time working the project prior to a Christmas BBQ a few days ago and I thought I'd share a couple of quick updates....
Firstly the final paint mix has been selected and the paint has been mixed so we're super excited....



Notice how the light plays on this mix,, we're super excited to take this car into the booth when it's ready for paint


Amazing light play and it really it's even more dramatic with the human eye so those sexy curves on the car should just pop.....

Here is Tony working on the under Carbon hood structure epoxying in the hood latch receiver mechanism and hood hinge brackets/receivers..





Until next we post,, Merry Christmas gang.....

That's going to look great in that color, Albert. Looks like a modern, metallic version of the original Lucerne blue. I love it!

Merry Christmas to you too, and I love the color.
