I am back and have been working my a$$ off on my '48 and so far most of the body work is done including painting the firewall the color the car is going to be, this is a new decision. I have put a mild sbc in her too. Here is a pic of the paint, what do you guys think of the color?

I also like the idea of the cnc machine in the garage, thats very cool and the car is looking cool too ProZ.

Here is a pic of the motor in, I will be starting her up soon and I will be very excited the day that happens.

Brickman,

i dont have any pics but the motor fits in nice it is really much easier to work on than the original motor there is more room around it in fact it is much easier that working on the motor in a FR car it is like diriving a rocket i love this car

[IMG]www.memimage.cardomain.net/member_/5/web 809000-809999/809849_2_thumbipg[/IMG] Well I will try this again if it don't work sorry.I'll keep tring.

just finished painting the frame black and the rear end and drive train candy apple green on the dakota and i have finished stripping off all the paint on the body and buffing and smoothing out the sheet metal now all i need to do is put the bed back on and shoot all the metal with clear coat also put on a new set of perellies on the wide rims so it has a mean stance on all four corners waiting on the sheet of copper to make the tonough cover for the bed and i baught some copper covered rivits and ordered the old skool safty glass with the webed metal mesh in it for the back window will put some pics in soon

Brickman, I like that color. That's going to look great on your Chevy's body style. Good choice.

DIYRodder, ouch!!!!! Bambi sure messed up your Olds.

Thanks oldF100fordman, I like it too. It's getting closer to running and the closer it gets the more things seem to slow down, it just doesn't happen fast enough sometimes. Our local clubs own car show is in 2 1/2 months and it would be awesome to have it going by then thats for sure.
