Well I got a little sidetracked this past week installing a lift in the garage.

41" with the garage door open

Image

44" with it closed

Image

I got to see the pan once again.

Had a friend stop by this past weekend. he just couldn't keep from doing something :-)
Image

He gave his thumbs up on the build.

Well my deadline is April 7th. Barring any major issues she should make it to the Texas Classic.

Well my mission was accomplished this week. I got my tins prepped and Jeremy shot them for me today.

these next few pictures are about 45 minutes after the flat clear was sprayed. We used Hot Rods Flats by SEM. In the instructions it said wait for 45 minutes before you heat the booth. I am not sure why but I am guessing to give it some time to flow.

I also got all my plumbing in for the carbs as well as the oil lines.

Now all that is left is to get the blinker assembly installed, finish the wiring, install the motor and plumbing, and re-adjust the rear torsion.
