Trunk lid back on for the final time hopefully, fuel cap bolted down.
Mounted the hood scoop as well.

Now, my opinion is 100% biased, but I LOVE dark blue. It looks just as good on your car, as it does on mine... :3DSMILE:

Thanks guy's:D

The dark blue is certainly a nice color.

Next up for this one is the roll bar, for this car we are going with a polished stainless, got the main hoop installed, now I can fit the 3rd (back) leg and it's mount in the trunk..

Installed in the car for the final time, hopefully!:)

Thanks Jeff:3DSMILE:

Got the fuel system (tank, pump, breather ) all finished up and installed, just need to add a filter and main feed line.

That's gonna be one lucky owner.

When all is said and done, what's the build time?

Hi Rodney
I have been banging away on this one on and off for a little over a year now:eek:
Seems like a long time but there has been plenty of other work going on as well.

All effort on this one now as I need it out of the shop, (need the space;))

It's very exciting to be close to putting an engine in, been waiting on blocks but have been told mine are ready to ship,:3DSMILE:

Electric fan mounted and ready to go.:3DSMILE:

Today's job is to get the hood latches and handles fitted.
I am making up the round base flanges from stainless.
I think it's going to work just fine:).

Nice work, those look great! It will be a beauty to behold when it is done. You need to do a victory tour when it is completed and show off your work in person :)

Thanks:)
Got the latches and handles all mounted, they look and work great, very happy to have this job complete.
Now I need to make a few more sets up,:eek:

Hey Craig - That looks absolutely SPECTACULAR!!! Awesome work as always.

SFSDFGT 01-13-2017 02:15 AM

Looking good, my friend!

Craig,

Outstanding work! You are a true craftsman, the real deal!

Here in South Australia i was told that hood catch handles are to dangerous and not allowed. As someones flies over the bonnet and cracks there skull on the windscreen, the handles could give you a nasty bruise.:eek:

Seems like to me that getting a nasty bruise from the handle as one is flying over the bonnet and hitting the windscreen would be the least of their worries :rolleyes:
