I don't envy you having to scrape all the old underseal off. We are building a LS powered '57 4 door pillarless Belair at work and we have just finished scraping the underside. So worth it now the paint has gone on but still a dirty bastard of a job

Thanks for that, yeah I'm pretty happy with it, I played around with colours for quite a while. It had to be gunmetal but not too dark otherwise looks dirty and too light would be just silver.

I'm not totally convinced about the hotwires and am thinking of 14 inch modgies? Opinions? I think the hotties would be ok but they really need eagers. Might go with both?

Thanks heaps guys . My phone won't let me put bigger pics up for some reason? Maybe cause I'm computer illiterate! I own and operate my own auto painters so the panel and paint hasn't really cost me that much,but really my own time but to give you some idea of the value of the job it's worked out to around the 20-25k mark(panel and paint alone) originally set a budget of 10k finished but blew that outta the water quite a while back lol. Wasn't meant to get this carried away but it just snowballed and now have to carry on
