Thanks Frank and Doc. I've been working a ton of overtime lately and just been to dang exhausted to do much when I get home. Waking up at 4 in the morning is no fun lol. I managed to get a little done this weekend. Here's a sneek peek at the body color and a pic of where the motor is at.

The body color is Createx "Fastback Green". When sprayed over white it is very blue with a green tint, almost like color shifting paint. I didn't really like how blue it was, so I sprayed the T'bird black first and it came out really green. Then I just cleared it with Future floor polish. If its sunny put tomorrow I'll get some outside shots of the complete body.

I love the colour. I can't wait to see the rest of the body painted. The engine look great as well.
I know how you feel about waking up at 4 AM. I worked 12 hour shifts last year for my co-op.

Jbailey,
Do you have another set of narrow white wall tires like the ones for the bird project,
or maybe know of someone who has some they might trade or whatever?

That green for the body is freaking sweet. Going to look great for how you are building this. Keep doing what your doing, I think you are going to have a killer T-Bird when you're done.

Thanks Skip! And everyone for the nice comments, they deffinitly help keep me motivated. I haven't done a whole lot since the weather has been nice, been doing a lot of darn yard work. But gotta keep the wife happy lol. Here's a couple of mockup shots of the whole body and a shot of the engine.  IMG_20140505_213157_823 by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr  IMG_20140505_214658_973 by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr  IMG_20140505_214557_837 by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr I think I'm gonna order a couple of Junkmans distributors Friday, I'm feeling kinda lazy and don't want to drill the original lol. I'm also thinking about having the front hopped up in the air, but I'm not sure yet. Thanks for looking and a big thanks for the complements fellas! |

Thanks fellas. I think I've got to be the slowest builder with the least progress to show on this forum lol. I had some time tonight to put on my pre-wired distributor straight from Junkman. I have to say I will definitely be buying more as that was much easier then drilling nine holes in a little dist. cap lol, and they look great. All I did was paint where the cap would be flat black. Also in this pic you can see the fuel line coming from the pump.  IMG_20140521_223513_320 by ratrodfanbobcat, on Flickr I also painted the dash but didn't take a pic yet, I'll do that tomorrow when I get home from the dentist. Thanks for looking and all the great comments guys, I really appreciate it! |

Love that color too.
