BFOOTER03,

Sweeeet coupe!  I like the naked metal finish with clear coat, must be extremely difficult to finish, but well worth it in my book.

Hey JL, another color (no color) to consider.  If you use a fiberglass body it might be easier to get the look with paint. You see wood grain, chrome trim, etc. done with paint, I'm sure a good painter could make a bare metal finish.

The Grand National Roadster Show has moved to Pomona (LA) about five years ago.  It started in Oakland, CA in about 1949.  There were always Y-Block powered cars there (even mine), but I sure am enjoying the resurgence.

Just got this picture today from my father in law from the California for the Grand National Roadster Show.

I've seen that before.  I would LOVE to have that setup!!!!!   But, that would change everything that I have done so far, AND I would have to source out another front plate & oil pan from a truck. Trying to keep things cheap.  At least till AFTER I start racing    My local nostalgic car builder is going to make me some, just like they did back in the day.

Outrageously great!  I almost painted mine orange.  Always wanted something that color.  I put flattener in the yellow to take away the shine.  Red oxide with a clear coat sounds good.  I like the photoshop idea.  Heck, I think it will look neat with about any color.

Hot Rod gray primer,red steelies and inch and a half whitewalls!!!!!!!

good outrageous, or bad outrageous?  I can't make up my mind.  Guess I'll photochop it when it comes time to paint.  Or,  I could always go flat black, with red steelies, or red oxide primer...haha jsut kidding

57 pickup, thanks for the info.  That car makes me get all choked up every time I see it.  I just can't figure out what color to paint mine.  Yellow is taken.  I was thinking Grabber Orange or Grabber Blue.

I pretty much have the engine sitting where I want it, and will attempt to make up the motor mounts this weekend.  Waiting for my trans adapter.  Wilcap has theirs for almost $500, Reillys is selling their for around $300, I hope there is a typo in that figure someplace.  Don't know what the difference is between the two, if any.

Miker, what link were you talking about?  Too much useless crap rettling around my small brain.

Thanks for the help!
