That is awesome advice, thanks :)
The car is coming along pretty good. Are you missing floorpans? It looks like you are. Are you buying those as well? What are you doing next?

Well, when I get the body done, I'll jump over to the firewall and fill i the holes and smooth it out.
I do have to replace the floor pans but, just small section. I'm not going to buy the entire floor because I don't need it.
On a side note, I discovered the original green paint along the fan hosing under the fender. Here's a shot.

The front end does need some work. Both fenders were damaged before and I need to hammer them out once I strip the paint off.
As for the green... it is nice. But, I'm going with a much wilder paint scheme for this car.
The motor going in is from a '86 vette and here's a couple of pictures. a) the day I brought it home b) what it looks like now.
Also a shot of the primer work from today.
