Don't be laughing at this next pic. I stole this idea from another build thread. Looked around and found everything I needed to build( De Plane, De Plane). Looks strange but works great to move the heap around. Got the mudding and sanding done, and shot some primer.

tried a new product that was recommended by the paint supply store. It is a direct to steel filler, primer, sealer, and after i shot it I was pissed. It looked like crap! Once we started sanding though, we realized how amazing this stuff was. It made my bad body work look amazing and it sanded out to feel like silk. Hopefully the paint will look great over it.

Awesome. Keep up the good work! Maybe I'll see this one in Erie this summer ;)

The State Street cruise-ins should be starting soon? I need to spend a weekend up there, so let me know the schedule for them and I'll coordinate my stay with one of the shows.

Hope you all are doing well.

Nice. I did notice it was a bit shorter than the usual. Hell, those things can hold a beer while your working under the hood. HAHAHAHH

Its looking great too. Your progress is fast. I assume you work on it every day. Many hours at a time?

Did all the work on the other car except painting the body. I am going to paint this one myself and try to save 7K, we'll see. If I screw it up, I can always have someone do it. Will probably hire out the hood though since it will have our trademark flames underneath and a flat black center.

Yes I work on it everyday, since there's not much going on in the vineyard. I have 900 hours in it right now. Definately fast tracking it, would like to bring it out in 2009.

We are pretty excited to get this point. After several days of terror with paint issues. It turned out better then we hoped, and in real life it is the most beautiful EL wild strawberry we have ever seen...

Was also able to get the hammered Rustoleom painted on the inner fenders and the tunnel as well as the whole underside of the car. Say goodbye to rust!
