    Wow totally forgot about this thread over the summer and fall semester of school. A lot was accomplished the last 4 or so months.  We skinned the hood sort of, more primer and blocking, and a lot of little stuff. Check it out Here is a link to all my pictures.

    Started Spraying some color last week. I am using single stage for all the jambs interior and under the hood, and will use a base clear for the exterior.  The viper red is going to be sweet.  Also have several parts collected for the 416.  School is over in the beginning of May and I am hopping to at least drive it on to the trailer, we shall see.

    I sent a FB Friend request to keep track of your progress.  I'm on the site all the time and some how missed your postings.
    Having found it now, and seeing your work, all I can say is great job.
