Sledgehammer updates
 

Ok well this was the car's first show (unfinished) but we are getting closer. Should be done by March or Very early April of this year. Not a lot of good photos, but you can see the new DSE billet hinges a bit better. Those things are rock solid, and completely kill any side to side movement the hood once had with normal hinges.

Looking good. A work in progress that still draws people with primer !! :)

looks very nice - can't wait to see finished pics

Yeah I can't wait either. As we speak it's being painted FINALLY!! Yeah the hinges were a hit, everyone wanted to know where to get them.

Looks good! What are you doing for a fuel tank...filler location???

Thanks Tony. It's a Rick's stainless fuel tank, and the filler neck is being redone for the bend. The 67 bends a little more then the 69 does at the same location, so they have to weld a new piece on there to make that sharp transition. The filler location is the same as a 69 as the license plate frame folds back as it does on the 69. I wanted a cleaner look back there.

Some new shots from yesterday. The body is done finally, and now the interior and stance of the car needs to be played with and completed. The rear sits way too high. I'm also looking at other engine options. New front wheels were ordered with a different offset and wider.
