Thanks Gentlemen!
Stalling out on the bodywork and paint truly had me stuck in the mud.
I'm just glad that I realized my limitations and had friends (Sammy & Ernie) that could step in to get me past that point.
The goal has always been to have a similar look to Shelby's CSX-3178, without the J-Style Roll-Bar, with alternate power (377-383 SBC) inspired by Zora Arkus-Duntov.

I've been busy doing other stuff, like restructuring Small Business loans, but I was able to get in the garage today to do a little bit more work on Redbone.
