If you don't mind my asking, I realize those are Corbeau seats, just curious what model, and did you have some custom upholstery work done, or did they come like that from Corbeau? Thanks!!

Hi,

Great car .. great engine .. great TLC job reviving ... Great Garage !... and your talent is second to none...

Oh... Webers set-up! I have a friend who was going with that kind of set up too, however .. he discarded after found out that Webers were a real pain to keep up.

I love those Webers too, as Alfa Romeo, my previous love, were much more into Webers. You need to have specific vacuum gauges to measure the effecticeness / fine tuning.

For fun , I built these meters to handle 6 Webers in a Countach V12, It was a real headache !

Thanks!

I had Dellortos on my prevoius build. Was some jetting and tuning, but I've never had a smoother running engine with mechanic roller. The Webers should be a little easier because there are still parts available for those carbs unlike Dellortos.

Although, as mentioned, I'm not gonna use the Weber setup on this engine. Intake don't match the heads.

Not much has happened. Everything that could go wrong with the engine, has. Half of the lifters had the wrong offset. Wrong cam bearings despite support from Dart before ordering, bearing failure on one rocker, wrong camshaft, wrong crankshaft...and the list goes on. Most issues are taken care of, but still waiting for custom made camshaft.

Brakes are almost completely done. Been some issues with clearance and rear calipers but everything is ok now.

Don't have that many pics but will post some when I've access to them...

Ouch! That sounds like a terrible time. Good luck having it all come together properly this time.

They came like that. Discontinued a couple of years ago.

Sad to hear of the difficulties.

Sad to hear that Dart was awared , but NO help.

Glad that things are looking up now.

Hope that future work should be a smooth sailing !

On Dellorttos, generally look good but headache to the owners ( including me ) was well beyond fun.

Cheers,

GM.

I'm getting ready to do some major work on my car and was thinking back to how much I like your project, any updates??

Thanks!

Great build, love the hood and stance.

You nailed it
