> [@69camaro](#): > > very nice build, great car. but i gotta say it was annoying to go through 50 pages of bullshit and people talking about heaters to get any real info or pictures I agree and although it is hard to believe I have pruned probably 50 pages of bs along the way but I try to not abuse my moderation privileges and don’t want people to feel their posts just disappear for no reason. So that is why I created the condensed thread. This is where you should follow it to stay on just facts and pics/progress.

A few parts came back from powder. Nothing is final installed yet just in place. A ton more is at powder and I just took the throttle body apart tonight to go to powder as well. Most everything else going on the motor is going to be the grey color covering and “relaxing” the gold if you will. I am VERY happy with how this stuff looks in person to say the least. Then I spent many hours getting the wheel wells and under body ready for paint. The car is literally down to a unibody shell right now. A little intimidating……but not really haha. A ton a good old labor getting these wheel wells and such to almost ready for paint.
