A lot of effort when into the paint. Its black on top and jazz blue pearl on the sides. The paint came out even better than I expected.
I should get started putting it back together this weekend

She's gonna be one sweet ride when it's finished Brian. Did you look into the brushed nickel finish for the trim yet?.

I have been looking for the thread. In all honesty I haven't looked very hard yet.....but everyone I share that idea with really likes it. I powder coated the grill and head light bezels gloss black, I may have to get them stripped and do them in nickle too. The car is SO dark, even with the blue on the sides you can't tell it isn't black at 15 ft. Maybe if it were parked in direct sunlight you could.

back from paint....some assembly required

Now thats something you don't see everyday should be a blast driving it on the street or track.

[lxmodguy]

Thanks

I need to figure out what I am doing for wheels and tires for the street and road course. Those are the drag tires for the car. That's a decision for once the car is put back together though.

Wow, haven't seen one of those in a while. Looking good!

[lxmodguy]

Thinking of doing all my stainless in this stuff. What do you guys think?

[lxmodguy]

Just getting things situated for now. I will take it all out, clean it up and then lizard skin the trunk next

I still think brushed or nickel trim is gonna pop best. IMO blacking out the trim and/or grille kills the cars identity. In some cases it works but not on a 64 Dodge.

[lxmodguy]

ive never seen another done that way....to each his own I guess. the grill is already done. here is an older pic

Don't take my opinion wrong, it is MINE lol! The car is beyond unique and original no matter what.

[lxmodguy]

I've got the car home, it is time to get to cleaning up and reassembly. A little here, a little there and it should be done in no time.

[lxmodguy]

Making a little progress.

[lxmodguy]

well I decided to say screw it. I had a twin turbo kit fabbed up. The motor is done. its really coming along nicely.

Couple more pics going back together

Well I dropped the car off yesterday to get a new chromoly cage with a full rear tree. The car is really headed down the path of more pro street than pro touring but that is ok. It should run 8.50's all day, drive there and drive back. One of the things I really wanted to do was run drag week, if it runs 8.50's consistently I should do very well in drag week.
