I may be wrong but that looks like a labor of love to me.
When I "retire", I'll keep working but it'll look very different.
It might even make someone ask how I make ends meet.
Superb, as always cobrakiwi. BTW, I may have more goodies you might be interested in.

Looking forward to seeing it there. Let me know where you will be at the track. I think that I will be paddocked next to Superformance.

I actually have 2 outlets on my 42 gallon comp tank - just like the original comp cars. Most of the fuel will be delivered via the mechanical fuel pump, which has the higher pick-up, but if I miscalculate and "run out of fuel", I have a lower pick-up in the tank that is connected to my electric fuel pumps which should give me an additional 50 miles or so of range. Hopefully, I will not need to use the electric pumps too often...

why not just put in a fuel level gauge? if period correct is an issue hide it in the glove box, am I missing something? |

Yes you are! The car doesn't have a glove box.  |

Starting with making up the old school sway bar mounts.

Sounds great! How long do you think the registration process will take? It will defiantly get some looks going down the road.

It is already registered, titled and insured. I will just need to get a valid NH state inspection when I get it back home. I have a friend who will get the inspection done in about 5 minutes...
