I retract my statement about having more work to do then you. That is a BARE shell. I love the shot looking towards the back of the car... shows the amazing cage integration. BTW, is it cool if I swing by tomorrow morning?

Yup, but it's not a racecar... because streetcar, lol!

Should look more the part tomorrow, not too long to see it now, though!

Why, yes it is a bare shell... except for the subframes and a few misc body plugs... Yes, tomorrow morning is fine, I should be in by 10... BTW, I was second guessing myself on the way home, after I TIG'ed your crossover manifold... I was only supposed to close off 1 opening, right? The one at the end of the driver's side, right? Like I said, I was second guessing on the way home and wasn't looking at it...

Barest of the bare shells indeed!


Oh, and thanks for the consistent--or should I say persistent--progress and photo updates. Makes me realize the projects on my cars are relatively easy compared to what you've got goin' on there. Keeps me motivated.

Well, you are welcome for the updates! I've got a deadline I'm shooting for, so the updates should come faster now... see the next post...

And then the interior was white! Got the interior shot today... it layed out nice and except for some areas I just could not get to, it's completely finished. I have to shoot the sides of the rollcage downtubes and the rear package tray in the morning. Then I'll prep and paint the inside of the trunk and the engine bay at some point between now and Sunday night. The goal is to have it back down on it's wheels by Monday morning, fingers crossed. Pics...







So that's all for tonight, I'm going to bed early tonight...

When I'm in the zone, I get shit done, lol! Thanks... that was about 4 hours, give or take for the primer and color to get shot...

Well, if you would like to buy a new hood or trunk roundel and send it, I would gladly put it on the car and give you the recognition, lol! It would be one less thing I need to buy to finish it...

Thanks guys,

Garey

[Kershaw]

Wow!! This is one of the best build threads I've seen so far. Keep up the good work

Thanks man... I was being facetious, though. I wouldn't expect guys to buy stuff for the car, but I appreciate the offer, nonetheless!:D
