    Here's the Motion Emblem on the trunk lid. It looks a little dark in the pic.

    "That's some good work. That's a lot of hard body lines to pay attention to on the doors/fenders."

    Lucas,
    I believe Nick "mocked up" the car with the sheet metal we were going to use before he did any prep/paint work. That way he could "massage" any panels that needed tweaked a bit, so he didn't run into a problem later. I know Mark Reeves did the same thing when he was working on my 71 GSX. Dave Kleiner also does this. Dave used to put the entire car together and hang everything with the bolts hand tight so the panels were just "laying there" in the correct alignment. I imagine Joe Castrigano also does something like this to check how the "old" sheet metal fits.

    Even though it takes a little extra time to do this in the beginning, it certainly saves time later during assembly, and makes for a better end product. The last thing you want to do is start moving stuff around on panels that are already painted.

    Here are 2 pics of the Motion Emblems on the valve covers. When Jimmy found the car, the Original Rusted Chrome valve covers had glue spots where 2 Motion emblems were installed. These were put in the same place....................and the Holley 3-BBL is back on the engine.
    Enjoy.

    The attention to detail on this car is fantastic. But I didn't expect any less considering the owner.

    More Trunk lid stripes. The only thing left is the "Hurst Equipped" emblem and it's done.

    Thanks,
    I get to see it tomorrow when I bring up a few parts. Not much left to do on the outside. The Fender emblems will probably not be installed until the bumpers are on, etc., and all the weight is on the car.

    I can't believe how nervous I was about this.
