That does look great. I covered mine with vinyl I got from ERA. It is a chore to do.

Default It's Alive!

3012 is on the road! I still have a lot of tuning, tidying up (especially in the engine compartment), and a few other chores but I have put 6 miles on the car and it's been great. I am pleasantly surprised as to how easy, and dare I say comfortable, the car is to drive.

Alignment appointment is scheduled for tomorrow morning so I'll feel better putting more shakedown miles on once that is dialed in.

I took a few quick pictures but they really don't do it justice.

Beautiful car!!! I hope mine turns out like that when I’m done.

You've done an absolutely beautiful job, and
I couldn't agree with you more in that they are a blast to drive. The people who know what it is give you plenty of thumbs up!
Enjoy yours, I know you will.

Nice job, I like the red interior. Nice contrast with the light blue exterior.

A few more photos to keep the thread going. Still working on getting the carb tuned and tidying up misc other items but I've got over 100 miles on it and so far, so good.

Looks great, Andrew. That's a perfect combination of colours for a slabside.
Congratulations!

Cheers,
Glen
