My 65 Delta

After removing chrome, glass,and ss I media blasted and the car is getting dings and creases pulled as well as factory joints re-leaded. There was rust in lower front quarters that I cut out and welded in patches also being leveled with bondo. Bare metal 2 part epoxy from house of kolor will go down in fill coats and block coat, then sealer and wet sand. I will paint with a pearl flaked kamelian blue to red over black base and a burple candy prior to ten or so clear coats...BAM.
I had springs coiled 3" under stock at Coil Specialties, and will bag the rear spring and gas the front, this will look amazing with the 20 and 18" Foose Legends already on the car. The 5on5 bolt pattern fit like a glove with the 295/45/20 in rear and 255/35/18 in front, and Scarbird 4 wheel disk conversion on the way.
Under the hood I have added dual reto's manifolds from Thorton and 2 1/2" flowmaster SS to the rear. We tucked the exaust up tight as the frame was depressed on cross overs for dual upgrade at factory. JB Chrome is modding the rear bumper to accept the 3" chrome tips like 442...one off ****. JB is also chroming the headlight buckets and re-chroming the grill as the factory did a shitty job and grey coated most of the grill showing a single polished edge.The new chrome is remounting over freshly black powder coated front wall...should look bling like crazy!
Back under the hood I added HEI and had the carb rebuilt and re-jetted (2 barrel)...jumps out of the hole well but still needs a single plane air thru high rise intake and holly 850...coming soon.
I will take some photo's this week at the body shop and will be sure to post!!
