Looking very nice, Ryan. Is that pure white or a pearl white? It's a little tough to tell from the pics.

That's a very clean build there, Ryan. You should certainly be proud of that car!
A month to go for the past 7 months. A man after my own heart. Keep pluggin', brother, you're almost almost there.
Ryan--man, you are one impressive builder. I can't believe the progress and the good-looking results you are getting. Congrats!

Amazing how much work goes into one of these kits!
Looks like your excellent workmanship is paying off - That's a beautiful build and nicely detailed.

Thanks for the comments guys, the project had a huge delay for paint. It was at the paint shop for 5 months, the reflection is perfect. The color is Arctic white with silver pearl. It close to the new cadallic color, with half the pearl. I ran into some issues with the rear engine hood fitting with my shroud. So now I have a puma shroud on the way. Once it gets here its off to powder coating. This isn't my first vehicle build, but it is my first kit. Its a bunch of fun. Im use to tackling larger projects.
Ryan--it shows!
I put code 12 Gm race white on my Elcamino with the blue/red flipflop pearl.. Its a awsome thing Pearl if you hit the right combo
I've been thinking about your rear frame being tiped up like that.. I was warned by a friend to get it level on my build but not because of the lid . When you get it on the road for a while If you have unussal tire wear that couldl be the cause First have the back end alined.
And at that point if you still have a issue. I'd be lookin for a frame jack or a friend with a frame machine to fix her swayback tunnel ,by trying to jack ur up just forward of the K.. Even if you have pull the carpets and Heat the tunnel 8 inches forward of the K to stretch her to get it. (
OH be mindful of the fuel line with the heat) you should drain the tank Before you begin this.
In any case You CAN fix it(if you have too?) and not have to dismantle the car to do it.
IM Hopeing you don't have any problems with it and you CAN ENJOY THE HECK OUT OF HER!!!!

That's Pearl's sister! Love the gauges and ignition switch! Cool disc brake setup too.
Great job on your fabrications! It will be interesting to see your final product with your personal touch added! Cool!
Too much talent.
