Incredible work!!

Will the stock cowl induction hood have enough room for the engine without modification?

[MetalWorks Classics]

OK guys...we only have so much room for photos, and we all know that body work in an incredibly important process and there are endless hours invested in making a beautiful paint job. That being said, I'm not going to bore you with endless hours of blocking out panels. These guys deserve a metal, but there's just not enough room...so we'll jump to the actual paint job.

I love seeing updates in this thread as I feel like I am visiting a local fab shop.

Thank you for sharing these updates


ps When I saw the muffler pictures with the little orange stickers that say inlet on them it brought back some great memories. My dad printed millions of them for Grand Exhaust a from the late 60's into the late 80's. We had all kinds of cool sticker growing up and it's funny i remember this one the most.

If you look at the previous page of the build, you will see how we had to modify the cowl hood for clearance.



Take care!!

Love the color! This car is going to be amazing when you guys finish it.

We finish all our custom builds off with Raptor undercoating...

Beautiful build!

I am sold on Raptor Liner. I used it on my build, it lays down great. I thinned my and sprayed through a paint gun. If you get caught in the rain it will wipe down with no problem.

Looks like a nice finish with good color choices. I take it this does a descent job of sound deadening?

Raptor doesn't help too much noise or heat, we mostly use it for a nice visually even coating that is very durable.

Time to assemble the suspension.

[ryeguy2006a]

I like that tapered roller bearing on the axle. Is that a custom flange to accept that? And because it's tapered do you have to torque the retainer plate at a certain spec or shim amount?

The flange is std on a STRANGE axle from Art Morrison with a std bearing, you can upgrade to a full floater. The plate gets torqued to factory setting...40 or 45lbs if I recall.
