Nice! Of course I'm biased to blue anyway. I think it kinda looks good with those partial fender wells in there. I've seen many tear downs of old MOPAR racer's and some of them did have sheet metal of some sort in those areas. How's the twist in the frame forks coming?

My computer is on the blink. My pictures won't work and my "tech" is currently working on it. I may be off line for a bit. I have pictures but no way to show them. So for now I have no updates and it may be a while.---John

I have the computer working again and did a massive update. It
still runs a little slow and funky. The frame is still a bit up on the
right side but all 4 tires sit flat on the ground, no more rocking like
a 3 legged dog. I started decaling the body and remembered that I
forgot to paint the windshield trim and wing windows so that came
to a halt. The decals work excellent! No complaints at all. Here's
where I am at so far. There is no rhyme or reason for the order I am
building in, just what works for me.---John

Thanks, decals and gloss coat done on hood and body. There are still more decals to go. Now I can add the glass and more body parts.---John

Thanks, I have the wing glued up and just sitting on the trunk to dry. When it's dry enough I'll take it off, sand the glue seams then spray it black. I'm also prepping the glass for installation.---John

Moving right along. The body is on the chassis and ready for the front and rear bumpers then the wing.---John

Under the hood complete, not 100% accurate but close nuff as the hood stays down. I just need the rear bumper, wing and a few decals and it's done.---John

Thanks, all done and images in The Showroom. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and help. I plan on starting on the '68 Petty RR soon and hope to be more accurate on this one. It'll take a while to start as it seems to be a real "can of worms".---John
