Well been living in the garage working on this thing and man is my body feeling it lol!
I welded in some support braces in the car from side to side behind the seats and behind the dash,
The one behind the seats will be a mount for my custom built console and my plat formed area behind the seats
Also the support bar behind the dash will hold my MSD 6AL and coil aswell

Looking good! Get that thing done this winter and get it on the road.

Slick steering column support! Little,thought out details like that make a big difference. Looks great!

x2. Excellent workmanship. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

My Ram Air i built made a cowl shaped scoop behind the grille and it shoots fresh air up the pipe i built and shoots fresh air straight into the air cleaner,
The tri five style bird i built is open on the backside and the the area surrounding is molded into the hood area and will be filled in.
