lookin' good!
That's looking really nice. Should look even better after the buff.
Well done Randal! Just don't park it next to my patina-mobile on Drag Week!!!!

Very, very nice.
I really enjoy it when a project comes together.
I'm still learning
Silver sure does hide a lot of sins thoughI'm looking forward to after the final buffing probably next weekend. That'll have given the clear a week to cure.
List of to do's for Drag Week:
Install braided fuel lines and a check valve at the fuel rail (quicker starting, looks more tech friendly).
Paint background of the 'Buick' emblems black.
Modify and clean up the set of center caps I have for the rims.
Get the drag radials mounted on rims.
Tweak the fuel and timing tables at WOT and start watching spark plugs. Leaning it out 1.5 points and adding 2* of timing.
And pack up to be ready to go!

Here is my plan for the wheel center caps. The one I pulled apart was barely legible through the cracked and faded glass. This is just a practice try. I'm going to get some photo paper (this is just regular paper) and then laminate the final prints and do a better job with cutting the UV plexiglass to fit cleanly in the center cap. What do you think?

The one on the left kind of announces what you're bringing to the gun fight...if that's your intention then OK.

my thoughts, personally, i would leave the engine stuff off, then space " the silver buick" as if it said " buick motor division"
but that is just me. you are one creative mofo, fo sho!
