Thanks Mike,
The wheel coating is a powder coating my local powder coating guy and myself came up with.
In my opinion they look even better in person.
The FIA wheels on the 427 car was a must for Kevin, and I think we nailed it.

Now that we have the engine and gearbox sitting in place it's time to make it all work.
Large alternator pulley fits with just enough clearance

Making up and fitting the oil cooler hoses is next, the two piece turkey pan makes it easy to work on the carburator its self and the fabrication of the linkage.

The quick jacks are back from powder coating, I made up the mounting hardware and used the English whitworth stainless lock nuts.

Car is looking better and better with every little part added.

Uhhh, don't the nuts go outside on the QJs, not in?


See: Jack Pads - Plates Inside or Outside?
