The last couple of nights Dan and I have really been putting in some hours on our cars. We worked til 7 AM this morning, from 8PM last night. Today we started about 2 PM, and I just got home, and Dan plans to work until 7 AM again.It is so much cooler at night, and we get a lot more done.
We slipped the body back on the T for the final trial fit before paint. Wanted to make sure everything cleared and fit, and luckily, it did. I am also not going to use the big headlights I mocked it up with........now that the car is together somewhat, they just didn't look right, so I will use them on my Dodge truck. I dug around in my headlight collection, and found a nice pair of Guide lights that look much better, so that is what I'll use.
I installed the windshield to get the full effect, and am really happy with the stance and all. It looks just like I wanted, and it is just as low as I hoped. Dan and I are going to make our own T grille shell out of 18 gauge steel, because the fiberglass one I bought doesn't fit the radiator perfectly. He convinced my tonight that we should bend up our own.
Here are some pictures of how the mockup looks. I'm pretty stoked. Starting to look like a car finally. If I get it primed and painted by next weekend, that will only leave some wiring and plumbing to get it running.
