Clean car man, I really, really, really like this ride! I keep coming back to it and looking closer. Very nicely done, and those vintage AR wheels really look nice in your photoshop.

Thanks man!!

I really like the look=)

Thanks man!

I'm usually not into chrome but the brushed and brass accents throw it over the top! Rendering looks great as well... keep up the good work!

Thanks, I'm trying to keep it subtle. It looks like it's going to be a lot, but there is so much black in the bay now it should balance out well.

I did a crude little photoshop to get an idea how the wheels will look.

Threw the watermark on there so there isnt any confusion haha

i loved the brushed!!! keeping it clean and different at the same time

Thanks! Different has become somewhat important to me lately.

this build becomes more of an encouragement very time i read about it... i am getting close myself to putting mine on the road, really close! Great job with everything.

Good to hear you're close to getting it on the road!

Are you throwin new wheels on it?

The car is still on jack stands and im planning on powder coating the centers so I may just have to wait a little longer. I might throw them on for fun but that would require swapping the tires from the steelies and then removing them again before powdercoating.

uggggh just when i thought it couldn't get better. Your engine details are perfect so far.

Thanks man, yeah the bay was really the only area that didnt get much love. Ive gotten things mechanically sound for the most part, but it was never very pretty.

Things are coming along well. Should have things finished up this weekend. The engine is now gloss black. The bay is more of a semi gloss black.

The carbs came out really nice. They had a dull grey steel look to them before. The filter covers were a chrome plated mirror finish when I got them, but I had the polisher do a brushed finish instead. I'm trying to add some pops of brass and chrome under the hood where it seems appropriate. All of the linkage is polished as well.

Scrubbing Bubbles works great for degreasing =)

I actually had some at the house already so I tried it and it worked great!

This is going to look fantastic!

I have found LPS ZeroTri to be the best degreaser product I have used... I used it to blast 20,000 miles of gunk off one of my old motorcycles quite well

Thanks! Didnt get around to trying that product out, but im sure I will need something degreased someday

it's like we have the same brain....(that sounds weird), you're doing exactly what I would do with my Amazon. there should be an award for people like you who build cars properly

Great minds think alike haha.

sometimes people will also polish the pulleys and the fan.

I think it suits your car

I really like the look of the motor in that pic, but im just going for something a little different. Im going to be running an electric fan so I wont need the fan polished and as far as the pulleys, I just painted them black along with the block. There will be plenty of polished stuff in the bay, I just didnt want to go overboard. Not really going the show route.
