Finished all the bodywork, and everything is in primer and most of it is final sanded!! Paint coming soon!!

NEWFISHER · 02-03-2013, 07:23 PM

Got up early and headed North 150 miles to the Estranged C.C. breakfast gathering. Met some kool people and saw some kool cars. Where else can you have breakfast in the cold NW and see 4 straight axle gassers?

Atommik · 02-09-2013, 10:11 PM

Painted cab, doors, hood, front fenders and grille!!

DransportGarage · 02-10-2013, 12:43 AM

Atommik, Your avatar is a looong way from where you are now! Great job! (And great paint booth too!)

Daze57 · 02-10-2013, 12:50 AM

looks great ! really nice color

crossfire84 · 02-10-2013, 08:35 AM

sweet, thats looks like hugger orange, the color im doing mine.

Atommik · 02-10-2013, 12:38 PM

Thanks guys! The color is really close to hugger orange. The shop I work in has uses Glasurit brand paint (owned by BASF). I picked the color out of one of the books at work, so officially it is "CMO 612". Doesn't matter what it's called though!! I'm really happy with it, can't wait to get it out in the sun (if we ever get any)!!!

ruby57 · 02-10-2013, 12:51 PM

And I would love to see it in-person, perhaps at the MSRA Back-to-the Fifties this summer? -Doug

Atommik · 02-10-2013, 11:24 PM

Doug, I don't know if it will be driveable in time for Back to the Fifties...
Next year for sure!!

Atommik · 02-10-2013, 11:29 PM

Here's a couple pics with the fenders on...

Speedbumpauto · 02-11-2013, 11:57 AM

Very nice! I've always liked that GM style wheel especially with the color accent.

hsdropout · 02-11-2013, 12:36 PM

Got a screaming deal on an Edelbrock Performer intake on CL........only problem was that someone painted it black............
Took to local machine shop and used their blast cabinet.....cleaned up real nice.

yossarian19 · 02-11-2013, 11:22 PM

Today I finished fabbing my fuel lines. 02 Silverado engine, 02 Camaro pump / filter, 1970 Mustang fuel tank.
Doing it again, I'd buy the hi-pressure fuel filter with built-in bracket from Speedway instead of the Camaro unit. The $25 saved on the filter got spent on parts & adapters to make the Camaro stuff work w/ my nylon fuel system. And then some.
Live & learn.
Tomorrow, I mount lines to body & chafe-proof them.

hsdropout · 02-18-2013, 01:17 AM

made progress putting the engine together..........'69 355 SBC, RV cam
just needs some wires & hoses........

Daze57 · 02-18-2013, 01:38 AM

Daze57 · 02-18-2013, 01:44 AM

went to the storage site and sprayed some PB blaster in the spark plug holes with hopes that my motor will break free in the future...

dubie · 02-24-2013, 09:26 PM

Mocked up the bed on the frame to get the fitment on the tires. Yeah....they're to wide. Time for plan B

nvrdone · 02-24-2013, 09:30 PM

Finished installing all the dash hardware after I filled the radio hole & repanted the dash.
Then installed my power window kit.Now Just need to figure out what switches to use.
Next up is the bear claw door latch kit.

Tire Rule #1: The tires are never too wide. Do you have a rubber mallet? (Suggestion: Harbor Freight #69082.)
