Eric it looks great nice work! I really like the tunnel! what was the process you used for it?

[427cobra]

Lots of elbow grease. Stated with wet sanding working my way finer and finer until all the scratches were gone. I used WD40 for the liquid. (Not sure if that makes a difference)

Then finishing off with a mother's power ball.

Plans for this weekend...

First get the chain case installed, TPRs, and skis. Then move onto the track, track drive, & suspension installation.

The track is fully picked so tunnel protectors are installed as well (Hyfax).

The hood a fresh coat of black along with a recovered seat from John's is waiting to be installed.

I plan on installing a 82' fuel tank that has the lockable door. Should start coming together quickly if its not too hot in the garage! The cleaning and painting of all the parts takes up most of the time...

Thanks!

Gears & chain installed, bumper installed, rear tow hitch installed, rear grab bar & flap installed…

You guys have any input on whether or not I should install hydraulic brakes…??? Would that be a “selling feature”?? OR should I just install the stock mechanical brakes?
