Moving on to some wiring, and stereo installation, you know, the important stuff

Got some parts powder coated, put in the jones racing trans system, this pumps fluid while the car is off allowing quick cool down.
Added the fuel system. I believe at this point I had the car running and moving around under its own power

It was time to paint the cage to finish up the interior now I can cover it and focus on the outside again, I used green, gold, and silver pearls in marbleizer to get this effect. This will also be used in the stripe later

Time to start on the outside body work, I made new rocker panels to fit the extensions and to level the cars stance to 4-1/2 off floor

Keith 944 · 04-27-2023, 08:21 AM

Now I have to fill that 7” gap I made in the hood area and to cut down and mount the scoop

Keith 944 · 04-27-2023, 08:25 AM

I need to add that I made the front end removable, it can tilt or slide off, the hood opens from the rear. That was nice because I could get a nice tight fit from the scoop to the windshield. The cowl panel is now in 2 pieces and is removable for engine servicing

Keith Love the build, you may have found a second calling..LOL

How tight will it be to reach the 3 back plugs?

Thanks bud, and it's really not bad, especially if you take the three fasteners out of the cowl and remove, all open to the windshield. hard part is if you need to take the distributor out, engine has to go. but still not bad
