Single stage poly urithayne.

That is what I am going to use.
PPG Shop Line - guy at the paint store says I can use it single stage or wet sand and clear it if I like.
This was going to be for a few front clip parts - will likely end up spraying the interior with it now though.

Your project just keeps getting better and better.
My son was just in Visalia working for a couple of weeks. I didn't notice where you were until the day that he left. He would like to have seen the truck up close. Maybe he will be through there again.

Here's alittle video just went around the block. It's not as loud with the mufflers (duh) but I don't want to open it up and piss off the nieghbors. I'll have a good test run out at the airport maybe next week.

OK! Today was very productive although when you see the few things that were done you may wonder why it took all day. Well it's Saturday and I don't work that hard. :p Seriously it does take a bit of time to do the small stuff, I spent 3 hours just puting the doors together. Doors were the beginning of the day, new weather stripping and "anti-rattle" kits with windows and tint.

Also what my wife calls "ironing boards" (Door panels)

I also added more padding to the cage and plumbed the fire extinguishers.

One nozzel for me.

and two for the engine.

How come the engine gets more than me? :rolleyes:

All in all a very good day, getting closer all the time. Might even be able to take Elwood to the Eagle Field "Lions Club Drags" next week if I get it all done.

OK! now for todays action. This truck with a "Funny Car" style cage has been seen as a bit tough to get in and out of, I kept trying it out as we built it so I didn't make it so as to not be able to drive it. :rolleyes: Untill today I have not tryed to enter and exit with full suit and "head & neck" restraint. So for your veiwing pleasure I submit this.

I think I have all the "legal" stuff done today. Now in the days to come I will do a few things that may make it a little faster.

Driveshaft hoop in.

Safety cable on hood.

Tow hook.

Push bar.

Man if they dont light you up in a few of the truck rags. Then I think those editors must have bags of hammers for brains. Not many slicks will top yours for speed and looks.

Far too cool Tim!

Did I detect some shifter / tranny issues in the early passes?
