Back from Autokraft, spent the morning setting the motor in and bolting all the suspension back in.

The paint is absolutely incredible. Pictures just do not capture it. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Here's a pic of the firewall and subframe. The subframe is the exact same color as what Jody is painting the Mali2ude. :cheers:

The firewall, core support and inner fenderwells are the same color that Paul and Joe Van Nus used in their Nova. The flash makes it look brighter and washed out the satin finish, but it looks bad ass. Thanks guys!

As Anthony said - no caffine for you. You'll be running on pure adrenaline. Did you get any sleep last night?

Thanks guys. Kurt thinks another couple of weeks and he will be about done with it, the new glass and weatherstripping will be installed, etc.

I can't wait to see it with all the sheetmetal hung. Kurt spent a lot of time getting everything lined up and door gaps dialed in. :thumbsup:

Oh, and here's another pic, just because. :D

Yep, as Jody noted, Kurt is a hell of a fabricator. On top of concourse restorations, he also builds race cars. :bow:



What color of red is that?

It's a custom number that Kurt came up with after I had a few spray outs done. We're calling it Autokraft Red. It even says that on my materials invoice. :D

Yes, it sure does. I knew you'd like that picture. :D

For those that don't know, the grey that I used in the engine compartment is the same as what Paul used in his Nova. I was checking it out at Woodward and I knew right away I wanted to do the same thing. Their Nova is amazing and the contrasting color and finish really made the engine bay unique. Paul and Joe were nice enough to give me (well, should say gave to Kurt) the paint code. Thanks again, guys, I really appreciate it. :cheers:
