| Just what it looked like after I got it painted, still didn’t have another coat of paint on it but that would eventually come along with a coat of clear. |
 |
| Well here is about 1 more week of work on it. So far I’ve got around 360 hours into this car as it sets, that’s with the strip down and the engine detailing. I work around 8 hours a day almost every day since June 5th. I think I took off about a week last month from it so I could earn a little extra money so I might have more than that into it since somedays I worked from 9AM-10PM! |

| Here is the other side of the engine, It still looks great from both points of view and I cant wait to get my POR-15 so I can do the frame and under carriage of the car. The whole undercarriage will be done in flat black. 1 quart (covers 95 Square FT) should cover the whole car and then some! I'll also be doing the whole wheel well tubs. It will be fun to work on that, under the car with only a jack supporting you from life or death. The break drums are going to be painted the same color as my engine……blue so they should also look nice after I get my new Cragger SS rims on there! HEHE |

| I’m really pleased with the turn out of my engine. I think I messed up the timing on it so I’ll fix that this upcoming weekend. At least it runs! I started looking into more of my sound system requirements for my car. I thought I might as well start playing with what my console will look like. My main goal was to make a cardboard cut out of each piece I would need to make the console. So when I have the money all I have to do is get some wood, trace, cut, and nail together! |
| Should look really nice when I get done!!!!!!! You might notice that not everything is perfect yet but that’s why its made out of cardboard and not wood yet! Now all I’ve got to do is wait for my Monte to sell and I’m set. |

| As you can see I’m not that great of a drawer but I did try my best there (while I was sitting on the seat!) The little emblems from my parts cars doors will go on the side of the console by your legs. As you might have noticed in the last picture I have skylark written above the monitor, that’s because I’ve got the Skylark emblem from the dash out of my parts car. I might end up putting BUICK along the sides (same as whats on my hood 1 letter at a time). |
