Hot-Rod Newport build progress!

[mckitterick]

I haven't posted a progress report for a while, so today's a good day to catch up! My goal is to finish by the end of the month, so I can drive it to the Kowtown Custom Greaserama car show. Will he finish in time? Will the gods of the machines smile upon him or throw broken bolts in his path? Check it out:

good lord...it's all so CLEAN.
i hope you have fun rumbling!

I was lucky in that I started off with a car in really nice, clean condition, and of course new parts are clean. Plus I soda-blasted, primed, and painted the intake manifold, so that's shinier than usual, and cleaned up and painted most everything else.

I am still SOOO wanting to make such a trip! Especially once it gets nasty up here. Thanks so much for the wonderful offer of two-wheeling and observatory-ing!
