Looks like the hood drops over that air filter, is that correct?

[kb426]

Yes.

That ^^^ is neat. 

Trosley would need lots of tall wavy capital AAAAA's to illustrate that. 

Quite the hot rod brewing. Chassis looks really good.

Mr. Bondo is stuck in bondo prison. No further updates unless I escape or are paroled. LOL.

He has friends on the outside.

Am I the only one who keeps wanting to put a Shelby-esque stripe along the rails between wheels?

[kb426]

Maybe some tape for a test when painted.

C.K. is trying to corrupt the innocent!
The weathergod smiled on O&S today. It got up to 90 degrees. I painted some panels, complete with dirt , a few nats that I removed with tweezers and some color stripes due to incompetence.

Looks good from here.  You make me tired just reading your posts...you get a lot done.  I haven't been in the shop for a couple days, been under the weather or something.  Plus, it's cooling down here, also.  Don't like being cold.

Flake first, then pearl coat.

I love that metallic blue, and it would look good with a set of these lower body stripes as Matt commented.

I was in Denver a lot in the 70's. I used to drive by Kenz and Leslie garage. One day there was a gt350 just like that sitting outside. White with blue stripes became my favorite.

Don't laugh, O&S worked all day to make it look this poor. LOL. The weather is not conducive to sanding outside so I removed the doors and raised the cab off the cart. I have brushed and sanded the underneath side some. I removed a bunch of rust from the inside. There were 2 panels crudely welded to the rear of the cab where gas fillers could have gone. I removed them and cleaned those areas out as good as I can. I stuck some sound deadener between the back of the cab and the uprights to replace the welting that used to be there. I will work on the inside and the firewall tomorrow. Monday or tuesday could be warm enough to paint those areas.

O&S put in about a half a day. This consisted of using an angle grinder and a wire brush cup to aide in removing rust. It sure does get heavy above the head when using. More sanding and then laying down some sound mat on some easy areas. I had 2 boxes and wanted to see how much more I will need. Sure seems like I need a lot more than I used to on a project. That was 30 sq. feet.

Nice, everything you check off is something done.
