Real nice Fred. Now I know what the sway bar is "supposed" to look like. Mine looks like the PO was running over stumps or mail boxes or something!

Very productive day.  I got all panels except the hood wet sanded, Twice,  1st pass with 1200 and second with 2000. Tomorrow I need to cover the engine bay so I can do the hood. Once that is done I will sand the whole car again with 3000.

Kinda liking the RatRod look......



difference between sanded and not sanded.

I thought about it all day today, I wonder how it might look?
what do you think SirEnglish?
Might be worth a try on a parts car just to see how it would all work out.

Man, your car is pretty! Very nice touch on all the details! With your Pypes exhaust, how did you attach the T/A spliiters? Did you have to trim the tailpipe section any, and does the splitter touch the quarter or the spring shackle? Having a little issue with mine......
