so out of curiosity.
is it ever going to be painted all green? or is it ment to be black/green?
and when does the 454 get shoehorned in?

lol, nothing really. its something im working on. same as the mustang, i dont own the car, just all the bits that are going on it.

drawn: i have kinda grown quite fond of the two tone. also matte black means i dont feel so bad when i dont wash it, since washing it does bollucks-all really anyway. im waiting for a rear disc brake kit to arrive from the states, then i need to get a new dual mastercylinder, then all the pipes and fittings, then im gonna get all neo bushes for the rear, THEN once all thats fitted i can start looking at the 454 again. im in no hurry though. actually im thinking that getting the T700 fitted and working on the 327 would be a better thing to do fisrt, cos itll just swap straight onto the 454. saves me a bit of messing round come final assembly.

so short answer: 454 is a LONG way off.

 

[Drawnnite]

fair enough with the 454.
so i assume it shall sit in the backyard next to the leftover argyle paint? =P

and i love the idea of matte black paint you have shown.
so does it show scratches?
if not you make me want to do some stuff with matte black =P

 

[ari666]

"does it show scratches" LOL, yes, why yes it does. lets put it this way. to wash the car, one requires a bucket of water and scortchbrite... if you use a sponge then sections will go gloss and it goes all patchy. scotchbrite evens the matte finish out. sounds crazy, but its true.

Uncle Buck springs to mind

 

[Drawnnite]

interesting on the paint.
never would have throught that way.

but how long until timber/veneer goes on in a similar fashion to this =P

tbh it keeps the whole 2 tone thing going.
and its original =P

oh and anything new?
or is nothing much going to happen for a while?

otherwise keep up the good work
