The main build thread is over on NARP, but I thought I'd share.

I like where this is going, color looks great!

Lookin Good Joe!

That is AMAZING! More pictures PLEASE....

There will be many more tomorrow.

So......that's good, right?

loking forward to seeing those tailights in there

Are those taillights prepped for oval truck lights w/ a grommet? LED?

Looks great!

i have one qusetion, what is the flag, were the bumper would meet the fender ? left rear ?

Sorta looks like a straightened out tab that would hold the big bumper on a 75/76 but his car is earlier.

Me too. You'll see that tomorrow.

Wish I could be cutting that baby. Would love to feel those curves.

My GF just asked me if she needs to be painted orange to turn me on. I pointed out the curve of the rear wheel flare....

Nice picts - congrats




Just not too BIG of flares...

Yummy! Looks great. I too can't wait to see those rear tailight lenses

Pictures from today:

Those taillights are sooo sweet... are the lenses/bulb assemblies all Hella parts?

Those 16inch fatty's are the Bomb.

are the lenses/bulb assemblies all Hella parts?

Yes.

Yes.

See the blue scooter in the background?

The wheel centers are going to be that color.....

Hey sllow down there. You might chip some paint if you work so fast

They are hella cool.

If you're referring to what I think you are, that's for the tow hook.

You beat me to the bad pun, Wills.

They are incredible-looking. Though I have to say we can't fit tires that wide on there. They're rubbing both inside and on the flare. 245s can clearly be done (James' car had them with 18 diameter wheels and they had enough room). With those 16s apparently we will have to find a tire make/model that's a bit less actual width from sidewall to sidewall.

Very nice indeed, the rear lights are not to my taste but so what... as long as you like them,

what is the colour code for this paint?

Nelson,
You're car looks fantastic. Can't wait to see the finished project. If you had made Joe drink a little less, you would have an engine in that bitch by now. Work+Beer=more progress.

I need to spend more time learning Photoshop:

I don't know off the top of my head, but there is another thread about that. "Phoenix Red PPG Paint Code" it's called I think. The responses there pointed some resources out, but I don't know where Joe eventually found it online. It came out virtually identical to the original with a kind of vividness I know wasn't there before (but then the original paint was ~35 years old when I bought the car)

You can still see the chassis stamp! Doesn't this go into the database somewhere?Click to view attachment
