Looking really nice! What color interior does it have?  My R6 paint is a single-stage acrylic enamel that turned out pretty well. The interior  came from the factory white and I am happy it did.  Just keep working and you will soon be driving it!!  A quick pic of my interior.

One of the older photos now but that grille looks fantastic!

dodgeguydelta

The white looks great very nice it makes the red pop. :2thumbs: This one came with black top and black internet it was a 383 auto on the floor the trans is original but it has a 71 440 for it now. Grille Thanks I had about 30 or so hrs.in the grille.  The internet is all redone to original and ready to go in. I hope to paint the body ( no doors or fenders) this week we will see.

This car is looking GREAT!!!  At the rate you're going, you'll be driving it in no time!  I'm not nit-picking but I just wanted to point out... the area just below the trim on the grille (the area that tucks behind the bumper) should be semi gloss black.  It makes for a good breaking point between the grille and the bumper once built.  If you meant to leave it silver, then disregard this post :)  Your car will look awesome either way.  Here is a link that I found that shows what I'm talking about.

looks great , going to be a beautiful car,
question ? is that the correct way for front spindles installed, makes me worry about stuff i have already done, front brake calipers ? should they be installed to the front instead of rear , or am i looking at photo incorrectly, great car by the way , attention to detail  just spot on ,  :2thumbs:

Tom, GREAT JOB! Everything looks AWESOME!  :2thumbs:
I really like the shiny brake lines. They really POP against the Tor-red paint (I hope that's right).
But can you give us (me) details? Where did you get all of the brake and gas lines? What about that master cylinder? I don't think that's stock.
Please details, details.

The brake lines are from Inlinetube http://www.inlinetube.com/   The aluminum master cylinder and Bendix style dual diaphragm booster is from Doctor Diff

I have the exact same master cylinder on mine, do you have trouble with it leaking out of the caps?
