Here is how much progress I have done, I know not a whole lot. I need to get my dremel out and draw the holes, So I can cut a guage pod out.

This thread will be pretty long, as it's a massive kit. Progress might be slow.

YEA WHOOOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOOOOOOO and i dunno what that was for but it looks great i think you should do the turbo flat head but FINE THEN! okies LFS time!

Josh, I cant wait to see more. I love this kit. What you have done so far looks pretty slick.

Your dash plan looks great:)

Little progress, guage pod in. Needs tore out because it's a tad bit crooked. body work needs lots of work, still.

i have this kit too. which version of the car areu planing on?Fendered with the soft top. I remember seeing yours but the pics no longer work. Did you open the doors and trunk?

No progress yet today. I'm gonna start working on the dash some more.

i did the highboy, fenderless and no top with the wheels from the fendered one. i didnt open the trunk or doors. if u want i can put the pics up again.

Yea I'd like to see them again.. No work on this yet today..

nice stuff josh, that this is huge, keep it coming

I have this kit ( altough the no-Flathead version) and this kit is 3 times bigger than a ordinary kit,so plan for 3 times more work, 3 times bigger sinkmarks e.t.c. :) Mine is only in Rolling chassis-stage ( Green flake with WWW). I also opened the doors and trunk, and there`s a lot of work to get it right and straight :( Anyway, it`s a BIG project but yours look very good! Don´t loose the inspiration ;)

Hey guys,

I got the first coat of paint on the engine block. It's PPG OEM Ford Pacific Green (the actual color of my real car). It looks a little rough because I just airbrushed it on a few minutes ago.

Well I haven't got much done on this. I finished up one frame rail.

Figured since it is gonna take a long time to finish this I'd start a new WIP, so I guess im hi-jacking my own thread.

Here's what im doing, Box stock Escalade on stock rims.
