getting the door/fender gaps correct:
last time I saw the car assembled:
I really have to make sure that I thank my body shop properly. This was Middlefield Auto Body in Redwood City, CA. Lorenzo Madrigal is the owner- he was awesome to work with. I told him to treat it like it was his own, he did everything possible to ensure it would be around for a long time.
Panels did not look like this in '69:

The car is looking great. Nice choice for a motor. Is it stock? Are you using the stock L76 ECM, the E38? Will it still have VVT and DoD? That's the motor that I have in my truck, it's a great, love it.

I use the term L76 but it may not be correct. The engine is an Australian export engine for the Holden Commodore, essentially it's a LS2 block with L92 heads and a L76 intake. I purchased it from Jesse at S-D and upgraded it with a mild Comp-Cam (214 @.050 intake 224 exhaust 112lsa), cable 92mm throttle body, and I'm planning on using MSD's MEFI for engine management. Supposed to make just over 500HP, seems about right to me.

Out of curiosity, who were you a roadie for?

I've teched for many local artists which I'm sure nobody has heard of. One of the more notable acts was this old local folk band, I believed they went by "The Grateful Dead" back in the day. Please excuse my sarcasm, but it's tough when you're working for them wearing a Slayer t-shirt.
