Shot the engine bay hot rod black matte one stage. Hopefully get the body back on in the next few weeks. It's hard to put any old parts back on at this point.

It's so nice to work on the frame without the body in the way. Also nice to be working with clean parts instead of dirty rusty stuff.
Nice job

Thanks man. It is so nice working with all new and clean parts. I'm thinking of rubber undercoating in wheel wells, but I have no idea for the bottom of the floor pan and under the back deck. I know factory was exposed fiberglass. Probably go with the matte black however.

Yea I know that the road noise from the bare fiberglass can be an issue. The undercoating would help that but of course it's not original. You will have some decisions coming. Good luck!
