Finally done!
Shot some pics of the car finally done, there has not been much sun out since but I took a few anyway.
Maybe next spring I can post some of the paint in the sun and you can all see how it sparkles
But for now here are a few....

Hi Fonz,
Boy, your car looks great!!!
I hope winter gets a late start in Stevens Point this year so you can have some FUN.

Yeah, the day was overcast here Sunday before the Green Bay Packer game
So the pics are not the best.
I wish I could pave the driveway but its over 300' long
I do have a second way out over the grass and to the second driveway which will save on the stone chips
The color is Brandywine and is modified from that, this is a new post, I posted my paint job earlier under "Finally Painted"
Had it up to 120mph Sunday and it handled great
This was my first shot at a frame off and it all seems to be going well, only problem I am fighting is a lower radiator hose leak
I changed the hose Saturday and used Permatex Indian Head sealent this time and it held up for 50 miles or so without a drop! But after sitting overnight it leaked again!!
I am thinking the edelbrock aluminum pump is expanding and contracting too much and causing the problem.
One parts store mentioned a seal that replaces a hose clamp with a band that you use a heat gun to acctivate it and it is what they use on some semi trucks with this same problem.
Anyone have any advice on this problem?
