The body fit up went well thanks to John Foster @ Quarter Mortar. Getting ready to start some body work and hopefully fine someone that can do an awesome airbrush paint job. Getting closer to making it's first run!!!

I am thinking of using some on-board monitoring for this car. Does anyone have any experience with OnStat or any other on-board monitoring system?

I just got my headers back from Polishing Proz in El Cajon. I had these ceramic coated and they look great.

Ceramic looks awesome Al.

What type of starting system will you use for this car? Just curious.

I have a starting shaft that drives the crank nut.

Just made the header cut outs, the body fits real nice.

John Foster recommended a Roto-Zip for this kind of work. Man, the Roto-Zip made this job so easy. Thanks John!!!

That's going to look really good once it gets painted. You are moving right along, may want to slow down and enjoy the build.
