Beautiful paint! I read about the wheels and didn't think they would look good but in the shots the white letter tires with the blackout wheels gives it a tough 60's stock car look. Wheels are a 5 minute change out too.

I will say I didn't care for the hood scoop when I started this project. But now that everything is black and I can get the overall look of the whole car. I changed my thoughts on it. Now my feeling is that it's the perfect look for the car.

I agree that the hood scoop really adds  to the car.     Did I understand correctly that the paint is a single stage enamel with no clear coat?  The paint job is awesome, but it is doubly awesome if there is no clear on that paint!

Single-stage, no clear. Car looks great in pictures, but it looks even better in person. I've been to Shane's place and the paint on that car is almost as deep and "wet" looking as any base-clear paint job that I have seen. I don't know how he does it, but Shane does some amazing paint work.

I was going to say I am jealous because my 69 cuda has been in restoration jail for 4 years but in reality, I am just in AWE!  Beautiful, man.

Some assembly in the engine compartment and in the process of restoring steering column. Back up lights restoration.

I love the wheels, makes it look tough....

Are you putting Dog Dishes or Hub Caps on it?

No wheel covers of any type. Going for the all business raw muscle look.

I have really been slacking over the holidays. I did get the column finished and the new repop wheel came in to round it out. After a long wait I finally got the radiator from Glen-Ray and as usual no disappointments with it. Bob does some of the most detailed meticulous radiator builds. They seem high on price but once you see them in person you understand why. Going to get it in this weekend and I will post up some pics. Last big item needed for under the hood and engine fire up. I may even try to fire it up this weekend.

..I may even try to fire it up this weekend.

If everything goes good i'm sure a video can be provided. Haven't installed the exhaust yet so it should sound pretty wicked.

That's really looking good. Makes me want one again.

Need a video of the fireup
