Coming along nicely. Does the car still have the incorrect grill and hood?

Yes, front end 70-72. Not to worried about it not being a true 1973. It’s a race care that I’ll finish and drive on the street occasionally. As long as I like it I’m happy. It’s far from any numbers matching anyway. It will look good either way, IMO.

I should have sent the 72 tail light panel that I have for it. If I knew you were going to do full body and paint so soon, I would have.

It’s all good. Still have time tho. Still waiting for the fenders to get back from strip and ecoat. Blocking the car now. Still have the engine compartment to strip too.

Well my brother is a body man so that helps. He is doing all of the work with help from our buddy who’s a body man too.

That's great & helpful.
I've been known to be a body and paint guy myself, what I haven't been known as is the rest of the stuff I'm doing on the car lol. That's making it sorta slow. It's been a very nice learning experience building an entire car , sometimes going two steps back because I had a better idea later but still...it's very fun, when I can get out there.

Not Fred but will look similar to this. This ine I believe is an eight inch scoop and the one I got is a five inch scoop.

do you happen to have a link to where that thing is posted? wondering if there are more pictures (other angles)...i ordered the 10" generic bubble scoop to cut it down to fit close-ish to my dual quad setup. love the way these look on dusters, can't wait to see Fred wearing it!!!

That car looks incredible! Is that a local Michigan car or was that a borrowed picture?

I was a little bummed out that Fred was getting changed so much but that hood is going to look great. Can't wait to see it in person.

That's Tory's car. It is going to be very nice in all regards. He is a craftsman, more like a SnapOn.
