    Is this car going to The Finer Details for body and paint ?

    I can see a snow ball starting :smilielol:


    Heh...well... A small snowball.. Haha. Yes  Ken is handling body and paint, maybe suspension so I have it as a roller when taking it back.

    Tom, this will be the part 2 car. 3,4 are entertaining, but 1 and 2 are the best! October IS horror movie time! I'm excited to start the car now!

    Tom, pay attention in part 2- you'll notice no tail panel chrome trim, no cut outs and the turn downs on that California car Barracuda they used.. I'm doing the same thing. Also watch the 6:x 9 speakers...you'll catch that they were driving two different cars!

    Hello! I finally have some progress here! The deck lid and quarters are lining up perfectly. I had to weld in a new cross brace that the rear shocks bolt to, the one in the car had some repairs done to it. Soon it will get the frame ties welded in, and I am just waiting for my new fender which is on back order. Also welded in torque boxes.

    Few more misc shots.. I finally got to meet Angus Scimm! The Tall Man!!!
    Also picked up some NOS Cragar center caps and my new HEMI air cleaner set up from Ben. It took FOREVER to get my fender from AMD, there was a major back order of parts, it held up everything.. So now the car can finally start the blocking, the panels are all lines up. These are old shots, so stay tuned.

    Oh mannnnn, you got to meet Angus Scimm! The Tall Man.

    How bad a$$ is that?

    That would be so cool since Phantasm is one of my favorite movies since it first came out.

    Lucky dog!!!
