Dan Im pretty happy the way the core cover turned out But im sure butchy took it to another level from when it was a bunch of tac welded sheet leaving my shop . He dropped it all off at toms so I have yet to see it but Tom said it looks insane..

Sounds good, I will need to you to bring Dan and Tom with you as well. I won't be at MW this year so all this art work going on around here I won't be able to view with my own eyes.

Oh and you need to fab one of these covers for my Bullitt. lol I will send you my stock one so you can build off that. :boink:

Went up to sinis built to meeet up with my painter and grab all the stuff I had him do for me and again he did an absolutely awesome job on everything. Especially all the stuff I fabricated ...funny seeing a pile of sheetmetal and welds turned into a work of art.

Heres a few pieces He painted for me the other stuff youll have to wait to see....

1 piece speedster is the only way to go!

I love the radiator cover, you know a man is good with paint/body work when metal looks like smooth molded plastic :thumb:

Are those modded 03/04 mirrors or exports?

Did you pick up the rear end?

Tom Traffic from your house was a major bitch, by time I unloaded the stuff at my shop it was after 9pm and todays heat kicked my @ss had to take a little afternoon siesta as i was in no shape to go back out into the heat. Well see if I can sneek by tomorrow and grab it.

Dan butch is my official painter until he retires lol Just cant express how good he actually is words just dont cut it. Im sure Tom will back me up when i say butchy is that good.

As for the mirrors they are indeed cobras and unmodded as detriot pointed out .Didnt have time to shave them before they went to butch for paint, but they will come back apart to be trimmed before they go on.

Just do a google search as there are quite a few companies that make the one piece.

looking good rich now get out of the heat and put those parts on .

troy couldnt do it, just to beat up today. I tried I went to the shop walked in but just couldnt muster up any energy to do a dam thing. Tomorrow I have to finish up plumbing the brakes as i borrowed butchys hydrolic flare tool to do the stainless and I have to get it over to tom so he can get his done so thats the task at hand lol.

Oh trust me Rich, when the day comes to pull my engine, I am going balls to the wall like you and Tom have and I will find a way for it to get painted by Butch. Honestly I'd like to go over the entire car with a fine tooth comb getting everything exactly the way I want it and have him do the entire car.

But... If I jumped into that right now I'd be looking at like 2016 before it saw the road lol. I work too slow and it seems like I never get time in the garage anymore.

You and Tom keep me motivated though, I'm constantly fueled by jealousy ;)

Lol, I couldn't have said it better. I'm just trying to get my car to stop leaking everything and then I have to come look at these threads. :neglected: Amazing stuff Opal, those fan shrouds turned out really nice.

Hell, I'm not even going over mine with a fine tooth comb and it won't see the road until at least 2016. I'm incredibly slow and I don't do anything custom because I'm retarded, nor do I get time in the garage because I don't have one anymore LOL.

I just read this thread from start to finish. Very impressive build you have here. I like how you pay attention to even the smallest details. I can't wait to see it when it's all put back together. Keep up the good work!
