It coming along. I preped most of the car and fitted the fenders and skins the best i could. Before had the whole car sand blasted and frame dipped and powdercoated. The paint color i went with is called bahama blue. Its used of Benz' CLK's. Has a tone of pearl is it. Motor is going to be a modern ls1 accompanied by a precision 76 GTS turbo. I know the pics are not the best, i plan on posting more final ones. Also the hood is long gone, replaced by a ss repo.

DB352 is the code from dupont. In fact the car is all painted and coming back to my garage for turbo fabbing. I will post final paint pics in a week or so.

That color looks alot like my 68. Don't know what the color code was but it was a 2000 mopar/mitsu pearl blue.

Thanks! I have one of the lucky velles with no rot. So the floors were in awsome shape. The car was set up for drag. But minimal changes the the orignial body and frame were made. Of course i altered the drip rails and suspension for moder appeal. Just looking forward to see a complete lower stance and a running car soon.

Hey Frtupchevy, looks nice but I heard your car is gonna be slower than a 6cyl BMW, whats up with that!? :cool:
