Looks great! At some point you may want to put a coat of black paint over the front of your radiator & trans cooler so they don't show through the grills. Keep plugging away. They may never be totally "done", but they do get to the point where you can have a lot of fun with them!

Wondering if you did any mods to the chassis to stiffen things up? The convertible bodies flex quite a bit, I notice it on mine when I get on it, so I can only imagine what yours will feel like...

I painted my hood scoop black. It really brings out the color of the hood. You've come a long way, keep going. At least bolt in a seat(1) and drive it around the block. When I got my motor in it put rad support and drove it down the block, NO fenders or hood. Who needs body panels??? That p-dude slug needs to be beat on, its not for the faint hearted.
Q: Looks like you have tall valave covers, how close is the brk booster to the vc. Mine ti close with short covers.

The original size booster did hit the valve cover...switched it to a smaller diameter. |

Paul, if you're looking for something to complete your project let me know. I'd like to return the favor for the grills you sent me.

not finished but that's ok as long as it's home. However, I did get to try out that P-Dude 535 power plant and all I got to say is WOW!!! It showed no mercy to those little 245/60 radials. Just rolling along at 20 -30mph....crack the throttle and instant tire smoke! Even though the car is still not finished...my short ride and that one or two cracks of the throttle made me forget about all of the money and headaches that I've encountered to get this far!!!! LOL

This is where I got my glass from. http://www.autocityclassic.com/index...=420&Itemid=41 The tinted glass matches the stock glass perfectly. And, they will bring it to the Moultrie Swap meet in February which would save on shipping

Paul, I read in your other post about these being 15" wheels, so where did you get the BFG's?

I ended up buying them at a local tire store chain. I was gonna get them at TireRack, but they matched the price exactly.

Paul, I was actually asking the other Paul because he may have just got his. I haven't been able to find any 14s or 15s locally.
