Here are some older pictures once we got the car back from the media blaster. The project came to us as an empty shell

You never know what you will find once the car has been stripped of all its paint and filler

Once we had the new rails under it, we replaced both quarter panels and fit a new trunk lid on it. Then installed the Detroit Speed Firewall panel. - Here it is on display at the Houston Autorama

Time to get rid of the dip in the hood. The car will have a smooth wiper cowl with no vents

Looks like another great build at GAP! I will have to look around a bit more next time I am at the shop. Hood mod is nice as I like the subtle changes.

Thanks Sir. This car has been around for a while. We have a direction to go with it now. Im hoping to send it off to paint once yours comes back

Customer wanted the car to appear stock on the outside. We decided to clean up the drip rail a bit.

plus we eliminated the door locks and clean up the firewall more. Car is ready to head off to paint as soon as a few more parts arrive.

Nice...

Cool build, but the max-g chassis is a completely connected frame. This looks like a front and rear clip, unless I'm missing something? Almost same specs as the 68 I'm building with a max-g. I'll be following this one :-)
