That color looks SWEET!!!  Should've been an option originally!  Well done.

Two of my buddies came over and gave me a hand putting the new 416 stroker and tranny in.

Looking good!  Lots of room right now in there.LOL  Take your time and don't rush parts going in.  Hopefully you pre-fit some of the stuff before paint if you're using aftermarket components(radiator, master cylinder, etc).

Keep it up and you'll be cruising that beast down to Carlisle next year!

Thanks Tom, yeah the pre fit thing, I would like to say yes to that but...... well you probably know the answer to that. I guess I just have to be very careful. I am taking my time but I do have a bet with a buddy at work that I will have the car done for an indoor car show in April, and with everything else going on I know it may be tight. I wiil be at Carlisle next year (hopefully).

Great colour and engine combination. It's going to be so sweet when it's finished. Good luck!

Blue painter's tape will be your friend then.LOL  Keep up the good work, steal a little time every weekend and it will get done.  If you have heat in the garage winter time is perfect for those dark weekends. :crazy:

Finally, after many years it's done. Well I guess we are never done, but for now it is done.

Looks great, and that is indoors.  I'm guessing it could look even better out in the sun, thinking the color will just pop.  Of course, this means I want more pix!

Painted a bike my brother and I built the same PPG Copperhead. A lot of varience in different lighting. Sometimes it popped and looked super cool on low or fluorecent lighting it looked kinda dull and drab. Looks great on a challenger and in the sun. Here is the best pic I have of the colour.

   Just added a few more pics even though they are inside my filthy garage, as soon as the weather breaks I want to take some more outside. I love that bike by the way and you are so right about the color. Thanks for looking, it's been such a long, slow, sometimes painful road it just feels good to be able to show people with the same interest.
