Thanks Corey, yes therapy is great !! The primer is very close to the final color, it is actually an olive colored 2k primer so it does give a good idea of the final look. I am about to take the body back apart and start priming and painting the individual parts which at that point I can also get the motor and tranny on the frame and my exhaust all fitted and mounted. Tires and wheels are being mounted today.

I keep going deeper and deeper on my new engine. I'll be amazed if mine gets out this year (unless we hit the powerball and I can get everything I need to finish it sooner).

I hear ya, after seeing some of those prices for your tranny and all I see why, nothing is cheap anymore though
