I'm going to try this again. Here is my entry. I used the hemi on my Cord build so this seemed the thing to do. I'll be going with dog dishes instead of the mags. I couldn't locate my original pic fresh out of the box so I hope this will do.

I had to wet sand the first coats I had on the Dart because of dust. Here is the result of my second spray. Not perfect but I'll do a little buffing to bring out the shine. Also sprayed all of the semi-gloss black stuff like suspension parts. As you can see, the interior will be red. I've always liked that combo on 60's cars.

After finally convincing my wife that i like the furniture she picked out, I got some bench time in. Engine's done, now to put stuff together. Have to repaint the interior though because the color was just too dark.

Looking good mate, nice engine detail, and you can't go wrong with black and red together.

Thanks guys. I actually used 1:1 engine paint after testing it. I had tried to match several common colors but they didn't look right. For the wire looms I used some aluminum serving trays I got from a caterer that was throwing them out. I drill a larger piece and then cut them down and reshape them. They are so tiny so its a challenge. Then paint them black.

I must agree with everyone, that engine is a knockout!! I must find a smaller drill to hole out the distributors, very nice work man!

Thanks, but that distributor is from M.A.D. predrilled that I added a fabricated vacuum canister to. I've tried and tried and can't drill those little holes!

I didn't get as far as I wanted but I almost got the BMF done but I wanted to post some progreess. It seemed like I'd get something done and tear a piece elsewhere! I wanted it to look like the buyer went for the radio delete option so I had to fab a piece to cover the radio space and then realized that the speakers had to go as well. I hope to post that mid-week after the paint dries.

Hi All. This will be my last post before sending in my final pics. Got the body done. Put the stripes on but they lean a bit. Sure I'll get dinged for it but I didn't want to tear them. Interior is done. I used flat on the rear deck and floor but no flocking. I think it came out pretty decent, though. All of the entrants look great so I'm proud just to be involved.

It looks fabulous! That beautiful black paint job, and the red interior are going to be a winning combo for sure!
