Getting to the party a bit late here but congrats to you both on tying the knot. Looks like you found a keeper and it's a bonus that she supports your passion for cars.
I was also late in seeing this thread tucked away in the Chevrolet section. Just read it from start to finish and I'm excited to see what your doing with it. Motor looks wicked and the Coors Banquet can is a great idea. I might have to find a similar can to disguise my coil as well. Keep up the great work. I will be following with a keen interest. Graeme

I want to paint the tail panel black, like a factory big block car, and on one side of the gas cap have "The Prospector" painted with gold leaf and read outline and then pinstripe Prospector Pete and his scantly clad lady on the other side. Thoughts? |

You could also do vinyl lettering just in case you change your mind about the graphics some day.

My dad suggested that as well.... Not quite as authentic but still cool! I really like the gold leaf idea for the lettering.

LOVE THE IDEA! But then again, I'm a big fan of the wild paint jobs and names on the cars in 70's.

I love gold leaf with a back shadow and love the idea of doing a car up with vintage style lettering if you plan on keeping it. If unsure, vinyl is an option and you can also create gold foils in that as well.
Funny I couldn't remember where that line loc was sold to or who got it. I wound up needing a few things for this yellow car that I had previously sold as extras and ended up having to buy some items again. Luckily, I found another vintage line loc kit on eBay. I remember telling myself, you may need that some day! nahhhh! lol Can't wait to see what you have collected.

I have collected: -Stewart Warner Tach & gauges -Lakewood driveshaft safety loop -Lakewood splatter shield (not from the 70's but still has SFi sticker from like 1991.... kinda cool) -Hurst Comp Plus shifter with a cool T Grip shift knob with a prizim sticker surrounding the Hurst lettering -Cragars (the 15x4s are still at the chrome shop) -you already saw the motor... -NOS fly eye air cleaner -Comp engineering traction bars that someone made look like Lakewoods (pretty nice so I'll use em even if they're not real Lakewoods), I have a set of rectangular Lakewoods too but they're kinda pitted so I liked these better -"cloned" Hurst/Gabriel Drag Shocks -Hurst Line Loc -Appliance Headers Not sure what else I'll add... Dupree fuel pump may be cool in the trunk like Grady's red 67... |

This week has been a blocking week. The entire car has been blocked 3 times. Getting close. We're putting another coat of primer on today. The hood is still getting worked on a little bit because there were a few bad low spots on it. Then we can jam it, reassemble it, and paint it. It's exciting that we're getting close to seeing some color on it!

Somdone asked about the doors, whether 68 doors or not. You can see the date code for the driver door is 35th week 1966, pass door is 32nd week. Quarters are dated 33rd and 36th week. Wiring covers near the rockers are dated 36th week. The only panels that have been replaced are the header panel, pass fender (whiskey dent too difficult to repair), both fender extensions, and obviously the stinger hood (but I have the factory hood).
