Cowl hood would be badazz on that car...


I always wadded up a little pile of clay and put that on the high point - then gently close the offending piece -- see how much it squishes.... beats poking a
dimple divit in the hood.

Great work Ken! Looking forward to seeing your '66 in person on Power Tour.

VERY nice build! Looks amazing.
Those wheels are nice, I wonder how that color combo would look on my white SS.......?

There ya go Ken!! Sounds awesome even thru the cell phone video.... HAHAHAHA


Glad that hood is back on there! That's a great feeling.


By the way -- I've used my lift many times to remove or reinstall hoods. You have to use some straps -- and be real careful -- but you can get in "one man" if you set it up right. Three guys is way easier though!!!

Here are some more pic's as the assembly moves along..........now I need some dry salt free roads to get the exhaust system and to get the front end aligned.........then like the video said......off to Nickey Chicago for Stefano and Cory to work their tuning magic!!........Also.......until today I never really knew if the hood would close as I knew it was going to be close......whew!!......Dodged another Bullett!!!.........Fits without any interference......
