That hood may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I really like what you did.
Nice work, indeed. :thumbsup:

photos of my 67
here they are.
the hood is completely home made, top, bottom, built in air box.and all the molds to duplicate it. the hood is not exactly the right design but i went with function over form. Its a 6" cowl and the bottom part of the hood is cut out
so the air dosent stack up on the firewall at speed.

the bumpers are not on yet as im having a problem finding a company to plate fiberglass bumpers

this speaks for its self

the fender wells are also homemade, the firewall cut out and replaced with smooth metal. the break lines are routed back through the fire wall and down through the toe boards and are not visable as well as the engine harness. you can see how the air box seals on the carb here.

here you can see how the fuel lines are routed through the windshield wiper trough. they come up through the lower left kick panel. i know this is a no/no but maybe i wont get called out on it

rear view. no bumpers yet

this is some of the electronics. theres a backup digital 6 under the pass. seat. the car has 2 air fuel ratio systems on it on on each bank. the trans uses a solinoid with a shift controler.

the car is a pump gas 383 with a best of 10.17 and hope to get into the 9s this year. its taken 10 yrs to get it to this stage.
hope you like it

I like the wheels, they look way better then the old.
The color looks better then I though it would too
Nice showcar, racecar, I mean streetcar.
All it needs is some silver fiberglass bumpers!
Wait did you just way 9s with a pumpgas 383, isnt that imposible?

With the same greasy paws you used to push mine.
Dave said he has some nice flannel mits for you to wear when pushing his. Dave, car looks great!!! It's light-years ahead of where it used to be in the "looks dept". :yes: :thumbsup: I agree with Raf, the wheels are a nice & welcome change.
He needs to have Merlin change them from glass back to metal
then paint them..........
:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:
