| Here are the new pistons and the newly machined cylinders and flywheel. |
Cleaned, rebushed and refurbished rods. |
Cleaned cylinder heads with new valve guides installed. All valves, rocker arms and rocker bushings are new. |

| Here is Ken shooting polyester spray filler on the drivers door. This door was pretty messed up originally. |
Squirting the drivers side quarter panel. |
And the passenger side quarter.... |

| Once a good build of surfacer is built up, the block sanding process begins. Messy as all hell not to mention dangerous to your health! |
The car is dusted with graphite powder and block sanded multiple times to get a dead flat surface. We started this in Oct and were just now finishing up (mar 05). |
A shot from behind after a good coat of poly has been built up. |

|
|
| After a few blocking sessions we can see low spots and areas of bare metal. These get epoxy and then another coat of poly. |
Clean crisp lines after hours and hours of blocking sanding. |
Another good shot of the nicely blocked rear quarter. The yellow epoxy is covering bare metal high spots. |

|
| Here is a door at the beginning of a block session. You can see the low spots as the guide coat is removed. |
This is what your shooting for. A mirror surface. A lot of hard work, sweat and patience! |
Here the roof is completed and looks very nice. |

Good rear quarter view of blocked out fender. Still a bit to go on this. |
