Nice work so far, will follow!

 

Thanks Guys! Strokergsr, I really like the Brillant Black Crystal Pearl since it reflects like crystals instead of giving off a gold or silver flake. As for other black my top favorite is matte black.

 

Car's gonna look great!!! I love the candy monster green valve cover. The engine look perfect. This is how you do it right, congrats!!

 

Yeah I am down to either the Brilliant Black or Tuxedo black from Ford. I like how I wont have to repaint all my jams but still get a little away from traditional black since both have so much flake.

 

i doubt it will break....i would use 4l80e more expensive but overdrive is nice

 

Sorry guys that i haven't been able to show any progress of work on my body, but drivetrain I spent 40 minutes degreasing and metal prepping the transmission before i painted it. It's completely ceramic paint including the clear coat. I painted it after the OEM theme of the original transmissions in 68 camaros.

 

I apologize if it's been stated, but what intake manifold are you using? And that green really pops!

 

it's a knock off of the greddy intake manifold i believe chromed. Godspeed and a bunch of other places sells them. Mine is modified i really just needed it as a template.

 

Love your excellent prep & paint work!

 

Thank You! The worst part is i had to park it outside so after i marked up some metal i had to prime it so before i have it legitly primed i have to go threw and sand off all the primer i sprayed since there are multiple sports where the stock paint was never scuffed. "I made it harder on myself"

 

the engines coming along nicely. any progress this weekend?

 

im starting to be a hater. every time i log on cl i just get jealous... then i wanna go outside and take a sledge hammer to my sc.... you guys really suck! but i love ya any way.

 

I thought it's supposed to be brilliant black? How come its rainbow colors?? LOL

 

What adapter are you using for the trans and please give us info on what drive shaft you will be using.

 

Thanks, Here is some progress! Sand Blasted Engine Bay Yesterday, did all prep work sanded with 180 grit, prepped with dx440, maroon scotch brited everything to be painted. VP Primed, Seems Sealed, Epoxy Primed, Brilliant Black Base Coat, Crystal Pearl Clear Coated x2.
