Stinger......Keep up the great work.....
(I'm starting to believe that all the work I'm doing to my basketcase '68 is just to keep it from rusting.....)

I'd love to but then I would have to paint the differential, then the driveshaft. The rear end doesn't have any blue except for the gas tank and brake calipers. This party has to come to an end. The reason I painted the shocks was because they were yellow...and the reason I painted the sway bar was to stick with the engine compartment theme.

I really couldnt care if it was pink. It just seemed odd that the only parts that were gray were the halfshafts and the steering assist piston.

Headlight covers

I believe I may have commented on this before, not being an initial fan of the covers vs popups. the way you shrouded them with the paint scheme looks absolutely stunning!!

I finally got around to changing the fitting on the intake manifold for the heater core.
This is the final piece that I am building. The covers that you can buy weren't to my liking.
The hood has been cleared for the final time, both Inside and out. I just need to cut and buff it, which is close to a 7 hour job by itself, not including the inside.
This weekend I'm mocking up our display for the upcoming show this February. Getting really close now.

Man, everytime i see your car on a new photo i am stunned by the gloss and shine of the paint. Not that anything else on the car is less perfect but that body is straight as a ruler and that shine so deep you can fall and drown in it.
Absolutely gorgeous

We setup the display this weekend, along with the car turn table. I also spoke with our graphics guy, and he has started the signs.
