now working on the rear window channel. Whoever restored the car years ago they fixed the rust by scabbing in some metal and then just "mudding" it.

Get the engine monday that is being built by Cres Martines at Gilroy Automotive Machine. It is a 383 with Scat forged crank and 6 inch rods and Icon pistons. Dave Crower came up with a cool 4/7 swap solid lifter cam and lightweight valvetrain. Heads are Dart 200's that came with the original 327 configuation. Should put out 475 horse 470 tourque according to Crower. Subframe has been welded and powdercoated ready for reassembly with the trick Gen II upper and lower control arms, and L&H Kustoms/ Pro billet components spindles and bump steer correcting steering arms.:unibrow:

I met Kevin (owner of this car) last week at the shop. Great guy and excited about seeing this project come together. He's got some cool ideas to give it a personal touch I think people will like.

Well were back on the car making progress on the bodywork stage. Had another project we had to get finished up. Plans are to have the car painted by the first week in March. It will be painted 09 Porsche Meteor grey. Here are a few photos

Welded up the hood pins holes. This hood was for Rich's car "Pro Vintage" but the owner wanted an SS hood and Rich wanted a flat hood. It was already pretty straight and had a nice paint job on it so it was a great base to block it flat.
