Sorry, I was moving kind of slow today, but feeling a bit better. I was installing some things on the car to get some pics for everyone on the progress today. I installed the scoops on the hood, rear splash pan , bumper, license plate and other things. The guy is coming over friday to color sand, buff , clear and buff again. then I have to install the stripe. I took pictures tonight, and will down load them to the bucket and post later this evening.

I have one problem with the stripe and need to get ahold of M46rat and Barry. I sent the original plans to the rat and I dont see a full stripe on M46rats red car and on my yellow m46 car the stripe went all the way to the rear bumper I'm sure, and all the way to the front bumper as I recall.

I am hoping my stripe kit is a full set and complete. I had found pieces of my stripe behind the rear bumper. Does anybody have any other pics or a better current pic of rats car? I see some of the cars posted with no stripe and the scoops, so some are dealer add ons or incomplete. I really want to work on making this car as complete and original as possible. The engine was missing, and I will find a correct 70 318 someday, but the 440-6 looks good in there too.  I kept the flat hood which was original. I also opted out of the shaker. I like the car with the sport hood on it. I got about 4k left I figure to have this car done as a good solid driver :2thumbs:

Pics in a few hours, I'm still playing with it
