We have some pretty slick ideas on the hood, If it is not obvious this car will be pretty custom. Reshaped fenders, reshaped tailpanel, Reshaped roof skin, Shortened nose. I have quite a few tricks up my sleeve on this car.
See ya in Columbus.

Currently I am building a 68 with C5 full suspension. I am trying to build everything to be flush or even than the rocker panels. I sent you a PM a week or so ago and you said you rotated the engine down 1 degree. I am in the process of doing that but I was wondering what motor and oil pan combo you would be running. I have a F-Body oil pan and it with the motor level the front of the oil pan is lower than the rear of the pan. I believe this is because the motor does not sit level in the F-bodies. It I rotate it forward I think the oil would flow away from the pick up. Any thoughts on that or what oil pan options or are you gonna custom make one.
