now that the bumpers done, ive turned my attention to the interior. going to start work on the trunk, build a sub box for through the rear deck and build a panel for the rear deck as well. once thats all done i'll start on the door panels and the dash.
ive also been working on the ring bros door handles. im a tall guy with huge hands and ive never liked how my hand fit the handles. i would literally have to use just two fingers behind the pull which isnt an option. i also didnt like how they didnt fully cover the recessed hole in the door. so, ive added 3/8 to the back of the handles for a full 4 finger fit and ive massaged the door to remove the recess. the only thing left is to cut my 3/8 spacer at an angle. right now the handles stick up at too far of an angle. the stock handles are backcut at an angle, but the ring bros are not. they werent really designed for our car and i knew that, so its not an issue with their product.
i also picked up the block from steve and plan on shipping it out in a few weeks. i want to wait on valve covers from wegner and some more little parts before it ships.
more to come.
