what sort of paint did you use for it?

better than recent SM features in terms of style

Couldnt make it, woulda been cool to see

You planning on registering this thing Blacky?

I just stumbled across this thread today!
This is one of the best Photo/Commentary threads I've seen.!
TOP SHELVE BLACKY!!!

Scotty.

Awesomw job Blacky! You've got a great crew there!

That is fantastic, considering now I've got the very same type of car in my shed as my next project.

Question - what did you do with the front you cut off. I'm chasing the RH front rail that attaches to the cross member. Do you still have the front and if so will you sell it.

Cheers
