Looking pretty sweet there Bob.

Super cool build. I like the exhaust relief cuts in the trunk. I am hoping to do something similar when I get there to avoid the big square corner look. Nicely done !

slowed down on the car a little bit.

I changed some of the brake lines and how they were run. I still have to finish it up.
I decided to also get the motor and trans painted. Brought all my parts to Tim's house and his friend Chris painted them for me.
Its a Ford Ruby Red tri coat color with a matte clear over it.

Unmasking the parts is like opening Christmas presents for an adult gearhead. You can also see how the matte finish looks in this picture.

Wow, that looks very cool Bob.

Nice!!!!!

So Like I said in earlier posts.
I changed the brake lines around, they were done about 9 years ago, and they just didn't look good when you looked at the Fuel lines Tim ran for me.

I put a wilwood proportioning valve in. Its a neat little unit, it makes it clean and easy. It also gave me another reason start changing the lines.

Then of course I looked at the wilwood cover and it looked too Blah...
So I designed up a new one and machined it.

Slowly piecing the motor together. Its hard when I only have a couple hours a night to work on it. However I'm chipping away at it.

Check out these vintage parts Im using.
