Yeah, they are on there now, you would go crazy block sanding without them.

Bomp · 10-21-2016, 09:21 PM

Making great progress.

Bomp · 12-05-2016, 01:04 AM

Really nice work.
All that sanding and prep time is paying off.

Grizz1963 · 12-05-2016, 03:15 AM

It is great although I had the engine done twice because first douchebag put .010 bearings on an .020 crank.

LT1 Burb · 12-23-2016, 10:03 AM

Problem with that is that it then becomes just that..........

A Show Car.

What you want?

Then do it, or else enjoy and drive the thing.

61K10 · 12-23-2016, 01:44 PM

if you have any orange peel, by all means color sand it. Just because you color sanded and buffed it doesn't mean you cant drive it. It's already show quality.

likaroc13 · 12-24-2016, 12:03 AM

I'm assuming you're torn because of the factory-correct look? Super slick paint wouldn't exactly fit the bill. But for me, you're building something nicer than the factory put out, so I wouldn't worry too much about wet sanding to get it nice & smooth.

Saw it at Brothers this weekend. Incredible! Pictures don't do it justice.

Had I known, I may have made the trip down there. In years past, I felt totally alone with a stocker at that show. Would've been nice to meet Kelvin, too.
