Re: The 1976 Beater Build - by Wixthedog

Progress! Not nearly as much as I anticipated but that's how the cookie crumbles. Fortunately sports are back for the kiddos so that's kept me busy since being home, two boys play travel baseball and one is keeping up with cross country summer conditioning.

Anywho, I introduce you to Bold Avocado! I wanted something that gave a little wow when the hood was popped and I think this will do the trick. It's a cool color and is only lacking clear. That'll go on tomorrow and then I can prime and paint (gloss black) the front frame section and suspension.

Inch by inch, she is getting there.

I got the oil pump and screen fitted and tacked up and then I found that my new oil pan is a POS so I ended up cleaning up and painting the original pan and that will complete the bottom end tomorrow. Hopefully by end of day tomorrow I'll have the top end complete and ready to mate with the SM465.

Maybe.
