Tweet

My good buddy and trimmer came over this morning and in less than 5 hrs we now have an almost car. Should B ready for the guts end of next week.

Gettin closer, lotsa little stuff done 2dat

Wow! Great progress Don! If I could only have you working on my Car it'd be done in a week!

Looks fantastic, and I can't wait to see it done-

Hey Don, what brand are those valve covers? I noticed they were on the first car but was expecting to see the Cad covers and air cleaner on this one. Or are you just going to swap at your whim?

They are a very rare set of Induction Engineering (Moroso) covers Ray. Was told by the man his self ,Bob Moroso, that only about 25 sets were built back in the day. Have had them for over 30 years and on many cars. Will swap out with the Cad covers as you says on a whim.

Coming together pretty fast. Nice work

Don, those were the rare ones! I remember about you telling me before. Of course, I had to look on ebay just in case. If some guys can catch halibrand wheels while being struck by lightening, then perhaps I could score a pair of those covers. No Luck. But look at these being made by Moroso now. They too are going to be rare. Price alone dictates that. Why would a circle track guy want a set milled from a solid bar? Other than looks, which they have, or super light weight, I can't come up with a reason.

yep, god only knows what these are worth to the right guy,Last set I saw on EBay was about 6 years ago and sold for over $2000. As this is a Tribute car to Mary Ann, I doubt they will ever be sold.

Changed to the wheels I'm gonna run most of the time

Anutter update.
Doesn't look too much different but all the little stuff is done under, doors are hung and deck lid handle installed.
BTW, 2 day is the 30th day into the build

Ready 4 the guts, must be gettin old this 1 took 33 days

I think you've got building these dialed in better than just about anyone!
