The paint on the car turned out great, I never would have thought fathom green would look that good!
We like to go the extra mile in some areas on the cars we do that some people over look. You will usually find the paint on the bottom of the rockers and quarter panels just as nice as the top of the car.
Thank you!!! Cause mine sure the hell ain't!!! But it will be on phase 19

Thanks for all the compliments on the car! I want to throw out some big kudos to everyone at Dutchboys for everything they have done especially the amazing paint job! Also need to throw out credit to Billy Utley at B&B Classics for all the great fab work he did.
I wanted to be more involved with the build work wise but my job and work schedule did not allow it. So if this car was ever getting done it was by these great guys and me working overtime to fund the project, as I was not taking money from my family and our normal budget, and no loans or credit cards.
The car has exceeded what I envisioned, it's taking longer than planned due to having to keep the car fund stocked but there is light at the end of this tunnel! And it is going to amazing when done!
Next up is figuring out how to drive the car and maybe be competitive which I know will take a while. I see some driving schools in the future and lots of driving events. Power tour for sure and would love to get lucky and have the car go to SEMA somewhere.
And thanks to Paul for the updated pics, I tried to post a bunch last night but it keeps telling me pics are to big so need to figure that one out. Look forward to meeting all you at the Lat G party next week!!

Yes, the covers can be dressed up. But after looking at the pictures of the car I hardly noticed the covers. The engine bay looks really great in contrast to the exterior. Happy for you that the worst is over and you are on the home stretch. Curtis may have better valve covers but until he finalizes his exterior on his car you are out in front.
Happy New Year to everyone!
I wanted to give a update on the progress of my car. It's been awhile since I had time to post anything. So here we go! I bought a Drive Junky front drive system, what a super nice piece! We got a ton of other little things for the car, all the material for exhust, plumbing materials, and wiring. Paul and his crew got the brake lines all wrapped up. Jason Mitchell (JMitch19) has started wiring the car and is doing a great job. Paul also has his guys wrapping up a ton of other things! Well getting late and eyes are killing me staring at this computer after my eye surgey! So here are a bunch of pics. Hope everyone likes the work.
