I can't stop looking at it! The last video with the door jamb...so clean and crisp!

It's going to look great with the stripes.

Glad to see it in color, Curtis. You made a good choice.

Thanks. I nearly went crazy trying to nail it down. Saint Jim must have done 30 spray outs. I don't dare count them all.

[QUOTE=Spiffav8;634679]Sorry for the long delay since my last post. Seems like I've been driving the crazy train the last few weeks. If I wasn't mental before, I am now.

Jim has been making steady progress on the car and we are getting closer to color. The car has been blown apart and all the nooks and crannies have been given attention. The firewall is nearly complete and the floor has been repaired. The floor wasn't bad, just a small hole, but time wise the smart call was to replace the drivers side.

I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.......







what is the brown/copper stuff? epoxy primer?

It's a bare metal primer. Has a flat finish to it once it dries. Not that it really matters as this area will be painted and then covered with Dynamat. Dynaliner and then carpet.

Quick update. Firewall, core support, etc all ready to go. Inner fenders are getting finished up along with a few other odds and ends. Wet sanding has started and if Jims finger tips hold up, the car should be ready in a few weeks.
