Brian, Is that the same process used to do mirrors? I know there are some businesses that have adopted that process for plastics and even badly pitted pot metal. It is just body work and then paint...
Not sure but they do spray the chrome color on first and then clear overBrian, Is that the same process used to do mirrors? I know there are some businesses that have adopted that process for plastics and even badly pitted pot metal. It is just body work and then paint...

Good luck Brian !!
Looks like today will be the first trip down the track and am little nervesbut I will report back latter with some results I hope
WOW.......both the Biscayne and the Pontiac making their track debut on the same day!!!! Very excited for you! Have fun and be safe. Also have a blessed Easter.
Well my first outing was ok at best nothing to talk about
I was going for my license today along with trying the car out for the first time, the car was hooking but not I made 5 runs and the car was in the air 1st 2nd and 3 rd gears were all in the Air plus I ran out of gas once to.
So i never made it to the full 1/8 mile without being all over the track:eek and this was with 14 psi in the slicks and dumping the clutch at as low as 4600 rpm going to add some weight to front end and tighten the front end up a little this week and head back out again next weekend I guess that’s why it’s a test& tune day I was also hoping for better outing today

How'd it feel Brian? Car has got to pull like a freight train. Engine seem to be running well?
Lifting the tires in three gears!
Way to go! It sounds like you've got no shortage of power. Now it's just a matter of trying to get the car to run a clean pass.
I'm sure you'll get it with a bit of work.We're in the same boat with our car, but in the end, I was just happy to get it down the track without breaking anything.
That doesn't sound bad at all. Completely new car and you brought it back in one piece. Next time out you'll be more comfortable and do better I'm sure. Video would be a plus
Holy crap!
WOOOOOOOW, Great job on the whole project,......... Car looks to leave very straight, and HIGH, congratulations and thanks for sharing with us, Good looking car
