Ha subsequently I haven't really slept well in 1.4 weeks, I have to be physically and mentally drained to even give myself a shot at that whole sleep thing.


After that post I realized I should do more, went back to the shop and opened up the top end got it down to just the jug and piston which was really just pulling the timing chain and the overhead cam assembly off and that was that. I'll pull the piston and jug off throw a hone on it and get the walls plated for longevity and reduced friction.

I also antiqued a hood for my project truck, I had to repain the hood, then lightly sand blast it to get that new look off, then I hit it with some 80 grit in areas I would think would rust from either the reflection of the sun off the windshield or road grime and roost from other cars. I then took 120 grit and blended these areas in
Then sprayed it with a mixture of salt, hydrogen peroxide, and vinegar to instantly rust it.. Going for patina perfect look.. Pretty hard to pull off but I'm getting there slowly.View attachment 3784183


Also mocked up some Denali third row seats I traded some leather work and stitching I had done for a dudes Harley

That is a pretty sick red

I have a '66 hipo gt coupe in the orig Wimbledon white if your into stangs.

422,416 '66 coupes were produced
1000 of those were gt coupes
roughly 50 were the hipo (same engine that could be found in shelby gt350) and less than half are still in existence (obviously estimated numbers)

Been offered a pretty penny for it..

But I'll take trophies instead
