The car is in the skim coat of filler and blocking out stage now. Not really interesting to post pictures but I did get some pretty cool news. My body guy seems to think we may be able to get it into the BASF booth for SEMA 2020. It would be such an honor to have this thing parked next to a Chip Foose car next year. Wow!!

Another piece of good news is that the glass should be done in the next 2-3 weeks. Just in time for checking the fit before paint. Fesler is coming through for me. Thanks Chris.

For now, just need to get this thing painted then assembled.

The first round of blocking and refining the lines is done. Here is a little glimpse of the car now. It is in the booth today getting the Raderal Spray Polyester applied. This is after the first of 4 coats. This stuff is like liquid gold. My body guy says he would do away with any product he uses but this. He is in love with how it works.

The chrome trim is being fitted now. The bumpers have been refined and work has started to blend the original door handles into the new trim. Once that is done all of it will be sent out for chrome.

The last bit of work on the engine compartment is also being done. Won’t be long and it will be in color. The details take so long that perfect but it should be great when done.
