I put my 1st scratch in the fresh paint last week. (72) Tool slipped out of my hand.
 Got the passenger side all wet sanded and buffed out. Started wet sanding the driver's side, got about 1/3 done. I dug out the 69, started cutting and fixing the driver's side quarter panel. I need to get the metal work done on the 68 & 69 this year.

Well I got another one to do now. I promised to paint it years ago. My buddy is buying fenders and hood for his 71 chevelle. Bought a sander from me yesterday. It is getting serious now. Either gonna be red white stripes or blue with white stripes. He has had a red chevelle since we were in high school. I vote go red. I got a blue one. He put a new engine and did some rear end work on it.
I got the boat out finally yesterday. And I am dinking with one of the trucks. Shopping motors motor part both. I will pull the trigger here before long on something.

Scratch is fixed, car is 100% buffed. Got all of the emblems and trim on the driver's side. Still slowly pecking away at it. My next vacation is in November... maybe it will be ready by then?

I bought a Gen V 454 crate engine from a friend. He's had it in a few of his cars since the late 90s. Not 100% sure of all the details, hard to find old advertising for GM crate engines. Supposedly went 11.80s in a 79 Z28 with a loose converter and sticky tires. Going to toss it in my 69 Chevelle so I can get it running. I just do not have enough $$$ right now to build the 427 how I want it. Going to shelve that engine for a later date.

Looking good. My buddy would be jealous. That 71 I was talking about fixing for him. He wants your paint job. Blue with white stripes. I want him to be red white stripes. He had a red chevelle since 1979 LOL
