wow! love this car! some fantastic metal work going on too!

Awesome craftsmanship!!!!

...and a toolbox with speakers!!!!!!

keep up the great reports and photos. any idea when you will unveil the finished product?

Thanks guys!
Well not sure on the finished project taking the build like lil chapters in a book so i dont get to focused on big picture and rush anything because there is no real dead line just want to make it as nice as i can in the time i have to work on it,

But needless to say it is comming along finally and to help that is the new order of parts ive just purchased, to help with firing this thing up soon engine should be back next week. and the goal is to get it fired up and have all the lines run etc and that should be last test fit for engine that way when body is completly painted i will not have to worry about working on it and scrathing anything in a tear down if i have any issues with drivetrain.

Have to block the under side of the hood and inner fenderwells next and do last test fit of all the panels and the body can come off frame soon and goal is to have the frame smoothed up and painted why'll the body is away getting shot at the painters. i'll be sure to keep you up to date also been working on the interior and custom built console a lil aswell really liking how its comming together so far.
I appreciate all the imput love to answer any ?'s about build seems like im the only one trapped in the garage at times and you guys are the only ones that get to see all the progress lol.

A few random pics of some parts and recent work

I noticed that you don't have any bolts in the intake manifold to cylinder heads and also that the exhaust ports are LT type d ports---do you have a mismatch of parts here?

Photos of the engine were taken with just the heads and intake sitting on it its all getting buttoned up now should have the engine back this up comming week!
Trust me no miss matching in parts had my intake sent out and had it ported along with the heads!
These are new peices from pro-filer had them built and messaged by chad speiers! 210 cc 2.08-1.60's there ported to a 1206 fel-pro gasket.

My new Quad gauge arived today with the vintage style lettering i ordered and a tan face!
Fabbed up mount where rear mirror was orginally for an easy to read location and still keeps my dash clutter free and simple looking gauge and will be filled and molded in.

Very very nice and I also like your thinking of keeping the dash panel clean. Is the speedo instrument out of an early Chevy????

what are you using for headers?

Not running a speedo in the car!
Im using an auto meter monster tach that i cut apart and printing my own face plate for it to match the quad gauge so it will just be a tach. no real need for a speedo but the way i will print the gauge face at first glance it will apear as a speedo instead of 1 it will 10 etc.

Running fenderwell headers now not alot of bends in them.
Also with a 3" magnaflow exaust.
But been talking with a guy that can build me a nice stepped header eventually so those will be here in tot near future.

anybody else notice the similarities between the speedo housing and superman logo? with the big meats and stout engine, im thinking its more than a coincidence.

Make sure you get the proper D port flanges

Thanks for the input guys.
Picked up new battery the other day!
Billet specialties mount on the way.

I have a frenched antenna molded into the the top if the driver side rear wheel well. and instead of running an antenna its going to be a push and pull shut off and will apeear like an antenna and you'll not even know but the rod will come inside the trunk right behind the battery where switch will be hidden.
