Thanks! I bought it from heartbeat. I believe it’s made by, at least sold by, OER. The scoop was already cut! Nice heavy lay up on the fiberglass. |

I’m not changing the color. Keeping it Granada Gold! Going to paint the stinger black and thinking of painting the tail panel black too like a factory big block car.

Cool! I remember reading the flat black was to reduce glare and the rear panel was actually a glossier black. Car is going to look mean standing still!

You are gonna be happy with that combo, it makes for a great street engine. I did a very similar build, except 12.5:1, NOS ZL-1 9180 cam and with the Angelucci ported 781's it RPM's like a 2-stroke weedwacker and makes power from idle to redline. |

We are making progress! Trying to keep up with Dave's Crusty Cuda
![]() We sanded the original paint off using a DA with 80 grit. We then sanded the entire body with 220. I also removed all the seam sealer on the firewall and replaced it with brand new seam sealer and replicated the factory installation method (stiff brush) haha! My PPG rep told me about a metal cleaner and neutralizer call SX579. This stuff is killer!!! Spray your bare metal and it'll make it look like an anodizing job gone wrong! He said this would be the saving grace for the pesky rust under my paint due to the original owners tarp preventing moisture from escaping.... He also supplied us with the two part epoxy primer and hardener. Primer pics soon! This is where I'm at in the build, it's now up to date for all you to follow. Thanks for the support! |

Yesterday the painter prirmered it with the aforementioned PPG Epoxy Primer. Looks great! As expected we can see a few more dings and imperfections so it's back in the body shop. The body man will block the panels and fill in the low spots. The car will be back in the paint department soon enough getting more primer for blocking. This baby is going to be STRAIGHT!!! Makes it easier when the car is in pretty good shape to begin with...
