Thanks, buddy and boy did the weather turn ... from 70's to 30!


Well make a goal and Got the radiator mount painted a single-stage black along with the Speed Tech inner wheel wells and then mounted driver's side to see what interference with the clutch master cylinder ... needs a hole to clear master and AN3 fitting.

Looking like a car again ...






While the weather was good I got some putty on the fender and sprayed some SPI epoxy on the driver's door and passenger fender and left in the garage with a heater on overnight to cure the paint ...




Still needs a layer or two of primer/ surfacer and sand down w 400 grit!



Hopefully I'll get the door hung and semi straight before long and then get the rest of the front end sheet metal installed and aligned.


Thanks for looking ...

Seen lots of builds with an fittings coming out of a wilwood master cylinder.
Are you only suppose to use 45 degree double flare ??or an made out stainless??

The fittings coming out of the master and the proportioning valve are double flair and then the other end heading each corner is made up for AN fittings.

Smile I'm still in the game!!!

Still here working on my girl ... 2020 is hindsight, mental illness is real and I'm working on getting better every day ... it's a journey, not a destination!

So, I started a new job that I get to work on hot rods and get paid for my time ... should have seen this 20 years ago. My happy place is in a garage working on cars, call it simple as it is my place to be me and not impress anyone and look forward to getting back to work the next day!

So, first job is re-wiring a 70 Cuda Pink Panther for Holley EFI and AC w dual fans, then working on a 64 Malibu LS7 transplant gone wrong to de-burring a 65 401 nailhead for a Riddler Car ... heaven, maybe so?

I have been working on my Camaro, still getting the passenger side fender straight ... driver's side is looking good!!

My time in the garage is my therapy and glad to be still in the game ...

Thanks for looking ....
