Progress on #782

[ERA 778]

And with the 5 lugs you can get yourself a spare tire for "free" compared to what one would cost for pin drive.

Paint job looks great! I know you're getting a lot of satisfaction from doing such a job yourself. That's part of the beauty of this hobby - choosing just how much of a challenge you feel you can take on yourself, and then doing it!

Keep us posted.

Looks great, I am in the process of making my Contemporary into the same car. This weekend's project is glassing in the big hole where the Lemans cap used to be in preperation for the new "correct" Street cap. I too am going "black", from Red/black stripes.

Your car is helping with my motivation.

Sounds good. I think the increased popularity in the 289 and FIA cars is building a bit of a increased interest in the 427 Street Roadsters. I look forward to seeing more of them around.

Thanks

Yes, I do have to fight haviing a bit of an inferiority complex in going with the 5 pin wheels. But I have a 66 Corvette with essentially the same set up so I was kind of use to them. Buiilding a fairly faithful Street Roadster stretches the budget some and it was a place a felt OK in saving a few dollars. Good thought on the spare tire too

Thanks
