Thanks for all the compliments guys. It was all worth the wait. Still need to spray the bumper covers, and sand and buff the car to that special mirror finish that I'm looking for.
Motor is in the shop being finished as we speak. everything still needs to be installed on the car.... fuel lines /tank... brake lines/ brakes.... entire interior needs to be cleaned and installed.... Exterior trim/ mouldings... mirrors... door glass and trim..... turbines/tires.... and the list goes on, and on. should be ready to drive by next spring. oh yea, I still have to finish the motor after I get it back, and connect up the transmission and floor shifter.... Talk about building a car from the wheels up. lol..... At least the tough part is way past me now

Hahaha I'm sure E-man would put it up for YOU no matter what. :D
 
Anyway Im a broken record but that looks awesome you can sure lay down paint you haven't even buffed it and it looks like a typical new car right off the lot if you ask me.
 
Even with the granny-spokes it still looks....good :o Maybe the paint is blinding me to the granny-spokes LOL. Bliiiiiinded by the liiight. Or lack thereof lol. Cause its BLACK. Not....white...so y'know there's less...light 'n' stuff...kinda more..blinded by the darkness really. But that doesn't really rhyme with "runner in the night". Some things are not meant to be known.

I'll just paint new ones on too. lol

Here's the last of the showing off the car pics.... I'm pretty sure my camera is whipped, and probably full of over spray at this point.. lol
I took the car out for a little sun today.








Not really sure when there will be another update. I just have everything to put back on, and probably not worth taking pics every step of the way until it's finished..  So it looks as though the project will be coming to an end when it's back together. The motor install will probably be the last part of this projects update.. It's been a blast posting every few days or every week, so take care everyone, and I'll see you back here when either the car is put back together, or when I have news about the motor... ( I'll still be here, just not updating this thread like I was)

The paint looks great! Nice reflection! It's going to be strange not getting anymore updates though.
