So here's an update on Dad's car. She's on the road and I presented it back to Mom & Dad a few weeks ago. Pulled some really long hours with Ethan, Kostya, and Danny to put it across the line. Still have some little issues that I'm working on. The fuel tank has rust in it, got all the stuff to rebuild it and do liner in it. The powder coating was a BIG disappointment. The fan shroud and cylinder tins are holding up, but everything needs to be redone... I plan to strip one of my other 36's, powder coat, and pull the motor later in the winter to replace. For now I painted the breast plate with POR15 Top coat. The muffler was ceramic coated. Came out very nice!

The car looks great, nice job guys!
Bummer about the powder coating. I had mine done about 9 years ago at Billy's friend's shop and it still looks good.
