Due to some previous Paint work, some of the primer was showing on the rear quarter and the passenger side mirror. I understand that all of my work wasn't completely necessary, but I was worried that a simple scuff and paint would leave some chipping in the near future. As far as the amount of water I am using, the pictures were taken after a stage was complete, I always wash the car with a cloth and some Dawn after every layer of sanding to prevent the dust build up.
The Heads and both manifolds are off as of now, I didn't have time to take any pictures, but hopefully I will have some up soon. I can't wait for the first start up.

Motor is almost complete and primer is going on next weekend. Like everything else, there is always delays. I bought a junior Vic intake but the elbow I purchased doesn't fit. Any suggestion??
I'm not painting my door jams, so I had to pick my lines and stay as smooth as possible, even though it will be painted the same color.

The car will be for sale or trade (and the trade is very doubtful, because I'm wanting a c5 Z06) once it is complete. The primer is slick, but I didn't have enough to cover the bumpers, so they'll have to wait until Monday, then base and clear next weekend. I'll post some pictures tomorrow, I forgot my camera today.
On the waiting list:
1. Billet Grill (flat black)
2. 67 Chevelle SS grill emblem
3. Torque thrust M painted alloy wheels.
4. TSP turndowns.
