    Rob This time I used cast blast 1200 degree paint with 500 degree engine primer with ceramic. We will see how it holds up. Last car I used Eastwood coating but was not happy with it so trying a different route

    Got my exhaust manifolds blasted,primed and painted ready for install. Also got the dents and dings out of the oil pan and valve covers primed and painted and ready to drop them back at the engine builder this week.

    Thanks guys. It's been a long road but I am full steam ahead now. I really want it ready for next season. Wish I could have had the car ready for the Eastern Meet in Carsile but I will be there just no car

    Rob Hopefully the body turns out just as nice so they complement each other

    The good year tires were on these really wheels that I just bought for rollers. I am restoring my original 7 inch rally's and picking up 5 Firestone WIDE OVAL radials for the car at Spring Carlisle

    Got her rolling after doing all the brakes. I rolled her outside for a couple of pictures. I think it came out awesome.

    A little more progress. The new dust caps didn't fit and the parts store shorted me the rear shoes so I am stopping there tomorrow.

    The paint marks were reproduced according to what I found as I was cleaning the original parts. The tags were made according to my originals. Thanks for the compliments

    Thanks Rob. She should be quite a looker when she is done.A lot of long nights in the garage after work. But I know how I want this car to look when I'm done. I am particular about everything thing I do, from building houses to building cars. I enjoy doing them both. Thanks again for all the support

    Bruce That's why you see new axels in the rear end. I to had that same issue but while the rear was getting rebuilt I told him to get new axels. Thanks for all your kind words guys. I love this club. You guys are awesome. Joe

    I changed the color of the diff cover. Was not happy with the color it was. Found some great stuff for black oxideing the bolts. Stuff is great. Kept my original bump stops for the rear. Just had to clean them up and reuse them as the reproduction ones were not even close.
