with that engine no one's going to notice the color anyway!
Good point, I'm trying to make a sleeper of sorts. So the people will walk up to it first because of the big wheels and bright paint, and not turn to walk away until they see the radiator.

I worked on it a little yesterday. I just have to work some more on the driver's side quarter where the door meets it. Then it's just going back over everything with a fine tooth comb sorta speak.

I would be working on it today and night, except I'm going to a Tool concert. I know, I'm cool.
