Thanks guys! I swear, encouragement from your peers is the best fuel a project can get sometimes.

At this point it's either gonna be Porsche silver (the darker one) with Oxblood red leather, or Honda Red with black leather. We keep going back and forth. Her calipers are powdercoated red and will show a lot through the wheels so that's basically another color aspect I have to plan around. I think either will be a knockout though.

The engine getting mocked up. It's a mild, roller cammed '67 396, ported 049s, etc. Most everything bought from Lat G members. You can see the Ring Brothers hinges here as well. I'm super impressed by them.

Well look at you a naturally aspirated Big Block. It's nice to see a few NABBs being put in PT cars. I like it even if it is a bowtie:D

That actually made me laugh out loud. Yeah, I'm one of the fish like you swimming the other way. I love a NABB. With everyone going LS, I feel like I'm building my own counter culture car. This build is based mostly on aesthetics, so an LS was out from the start. Thanks for the compliments again. More to come.

Finally finished the firewall yesterday. This is the one from ABC. Took inventory of all of the things that need to head to paint. I'll be loading it this week to head to paint jail. Woo hoo!

Looks awesome so far and what ever color you go with those 67s look so nice. Nice to see a family project instead of all of the big money shop builds(I like those too).
