We had a problem with the original fiberglass hood and front valance so we ordered replacements from NPD. The hood required a little work but the front valance fit great and it was a Dynacorn part.

The hood had a low spot in the back and the front corners needed a little fiberglass added to match our front fenders

Our new employee Marco is almost finished with the hood

Brian was shocked that an aftermarket part fit and doesn't need to be modified and top it off it is fiberglass!!!

Installing the suspension and brakes and will fit the sheetmetal so when the tires come in we can make sure they fit before painting.

Nice job builders!

The Ring Brothers are the first thing that comes to mind for me when someone mentions car building!

The body was epoxy primed for the last time and wet sanded with 600 before paint.

Three coats of Wimbledon white followed with a coat of intercoat clear

It's not a quick job laying out the stripes and taping the body

Three coats of Guardsman blue yesterday

Brian removed the tape today and tomorrow I will spray SPI Universal clear.
