Well, let's go ahead and start yet another project!

This one should be a weekend build though. It's pretty simple.

Here's the start:
This is just after putting the third coat of Burgundy metallic on it.

Yup. Everything but paint is gonna be pretty much stock. I'm gonna try to do some wiring and stuff like that on it, too.

Well, here's a few updates...Still have some cleaning up to do on it. I'm most likely going to put different wheels on it.

Well, after lookin at this thing, I just HAVE to throw some slicks on the back of this thing. It may only have the stock 305ci in it, but oh well.

I'll post some pics later on or tomarrow morning.

Stephen, I was just looking over this one again. I really like the paint job you did. Very, very nice. The slicks will be a wild touch to it. And if you have a set, think about adding some traction bars to it as well. Oh yeah, are you going to add the kit decals to it? Those red stripes ought to look good on that paint.

Thanks Dave. I'm really happy with the paint. I still have to put one more clear coat on. Then probably one more after the decals are applied, for a total of four coats of clear.

I'm sure I have some traction bars somewhere. As for decals, this is the "Donk" kit, so it doesn't have the stock decals.

If anyone has a set they can spare, I'm willing to trade something for them. If not, I have a set of white and a set of black SS stripes from a Chevelle that look like they may work. I think the white would look good, if they'd fit.
