Wow, those metallizers really make that engine come to life. The wheels and tires look awesome as well.

Here's a small progress report... The Distributor and coil are installed on the engine. The second (putty) go round on the side pods are ready for primer... Once I get it all primed...it will be ready for the color on the body. Here's a few pics...

Thanks Ed..That Tank is the plenum for the Turbo charger. That tall piece is the pop off valve.

Re: 1980 TIM RICHMOND.. First color paint on...2-7-19
« Reply #39 on: February 07, 2019, 03:18:05 PM »
Here's a body update.... The white paint is on and waiting to gas out at lease a week before I tape off for the RED.  Also...there needs a little touch up here and there on the white. Actually.... I need to shoot more white on the inside of the side panels along the top edge. The side panels are attached to the top of the tub and are removable with the top for ease of touch up.  Here are a few pics of the progress....

Test fit..still in primer...





White shot on and in mockup....







Thanks for stopping in and looking folks!!!

Hey ED...it's ready to attach for sure. I'm in the taping process on the body to shoot the Red on it. I should get that accomplished today...hopefully...
