Hi Rick. I posted 4 pics on my gallery and they showed up in the recently posted pics section also. Don't know how to rearrange the order, but will have to remember to post them in reverse order next time.
One pic shows the 351c 1 1/4" valve cover spacer and a piece of 1/2" al plate (adapter) with the pattern layed out on it.
One pic shows the 351c spacer (blue) on the head.
One pic shows the cut out aluminum plate adapter mounted on top of the 351c spacer.
And the last pic shows the 427 pent roof valve cover on top of the al plate adapter.
Still a little crude but once a shape has been finalized, I plan to have a set water jet cut so they will look nicer.
Please excuse the engine compartment - lots of work to be done here. I ordered a 4x10 sheet of #8 mirror polished 040 aluminum (about $200.00 - sure saves hand polishing) which will be cut to patterns to line the engine compartment. Rerouting all the wiring and relocating all components to more closely replicate the street roadster. I even have a NOS Trico washer system!
I'll post a few progress pics of my car and of my progress.
Greg
