Re: Big Rhonda long term build thread
Not a big update, but an important one. I knew the "chevy" orange the auto parts store sold me looked off, but I figured it was the light gray primer I used. The more I looked at it the more sure I was that they sold me a mopar orange. Well, I am a dummy for not confirming it sooner, but the color wasn't even close. I had to repaint it the right color, or I'd never hear the end of "You know that's hemi orange, right?" mainly from my dad. But boy does this new heart look sweet in the right Chevy red-orange color. Trans is finished up too, and the converter is here. I'll be buttoning them up this weekend and getting them in the truck. Exhaust mock up and driveshaft measuring comes next. I cannot wait to hear this truck run for the first time in at least 7 years.
