Going to put the doors and trunk lid on tomorrow. The fenders were going to wait on because we're going to put the motor in before we paint the rest of the car. It would be easier with no fenders or anything to install the motor.

ah I see... so what comes next after the sanding?
when do you think we will see all the body panels assembled and do you have a predicted date of completion?

i am assembling the car on saturday, then 600 sanding the entire body and then working on the hood and getting it ready. Tomorrow the engine mounts are being welded in so i might put the motor in before assembling the frontend on saturday. The hood needs a lot of work though in my opinion. So it could be a week or two before we paint the entire thing.

whats wrong with the hood? Got pics of it?
will this car have a stiff street suspension, or more oriented towards drag?
Will it twist with my Griggs coupe ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

It should do everything with ease, its fully adjustable.
The hood has nicks in it, little holes from bubbles forming in the fiberglass, it has a wave in it on the front. i posted a picture of it but i do have a better one i think, none show what i am talking about though.

that sucks... this will be a 4 inch cowl?
never liked none-stock hood on any car but i am anxious to see how it looks on yours.
Your rim selection is gonna be crucial for setting this car off from the bunch at the shows.

6 inch cowl, only one that "might" clear my engine lol i could have gotten a 7 but i think that would be pushing it on the looks factor.
The rims might have to wait, if this fire season is good to me i might be able to get them but for now a transmission, maybe some new seats and engine parts are my highest priorities and rims can be changed anytime but i saw some Shelby rims in person and i really liked them.

looks good.....But just curious when you said "if this fire season is good to me" Does that mean you hope for plenty of fires? Just sounded kinda weird.
BTW, what gun is your father using to spray. I am considering upgrading my old Devilbiss, but I have been out of the game for a while so I am not sure what is top shelf anymore.

It's a demand-based business, and unfortunately when he does well it means that fires are up and burning. When you are put on a strike team and sent to a fire, you can get big big pay, sometimes 24/7 pay based on distance. I'm sure he will fill in with more.
