Wow.  I'm really inspired man.:bowdown:

I'm still looking for my next project and that paint job is freaking amazing.  Makes me wish I had tried harder/done things correctly when I painted my cat.  It was my first paint job though.  Thanks for documenting the work.  I can't wait to see the vert go through the same process.;)

Some day I will corner you and pick your brain on how you did such an excellent job.  You should be super proud.
My car is a gravity hybrid.  The gasoline engine gets me up the hills, and gravity gets me down.

Yeah I am certainly most inspired as well. Makes me wanna make sure I do my body and paint restoration thoroughly, especially the engine compartment and the sheetmetal under the fenders. I don't wanna just slap a coat of paint on and have what you can't see all nasty.

Still at the machine shop..... I told him I'm in no hurry. It's going to be nice, that's all I'm saying right now. Everybody will have to wait patiently till I post about the new motor. And I'll just say this as a teaser..... I didn't skimp on the rebuild to go with the P heads.  :D

Sorry, there won't be much going on for quite a while. I have to paint the bumper covers and misc items like mirrors, side moulding, that piece of door window aluminum between the windows... Little stuff like that...
I'm guessing the motor should be done anytime now. I think I talked with him on the 9th this month, and he was ordering everything for the rebuild. He said it would be about 3 weeks for him to get everything done. I still need an oil pan, but I'll probably bolt the old one on temporarily to get it home without damaging anything underneath. I'll worry about that after I get it back on the stand. He's also painting it for me while he has it. Can't complain about that. lol

So todays update is....... No update today folks. Sorry, maybe next weekend.
