I know what you mean with the time crunch mate, struggling this end too. Was just a thought, but no point having to start the body or frame all over again mate, will still be one awesome hot rod, with a difference.

Well, I finally got paint on it. I decided to go with a satin black with a little red accent in the front. The satin gives it a classic look but more finished than dullcote over primer. I'm thinking about adding some flames via decals but wifey didn't like the idea so I'm rethinking it. Don't know why the pic came out so fuzzy. It was pretty late though. I probably had the shakes from lack of sleep. I dechromed the disc brakes I just got so they would have a more steel look to them. I actually hated buying these but the ones I planned on using looked so puny with those huge wheels that I had no choice. I attached the rear axle to get the rear ride height before I start work on the front axle. Not sure how I'm going to attach it, single leaf, dual leaf, or coil-overs but whatever I choose I'll have to add frame crossmembers to accommodate. The final week thrashing continues.

That is looking cool mate, but I agree with you wife, I think the flame decals would make it look cheap, but that's just me, I am not a fan of decals though. Those discs look good too.

Thanks guys, and I've already taken the flames off the table. The boss is always right! This time anyway.

Well, here is the last posting of my rolling chassis before my final submittal tomorrow just to let everyone know I'm still alive. It's late and I'm done for the day. Just need to do some touch ups and drop the body parts on, and bumpers, and interior, and aw heck g'night!
