Getting parts during Covid sucked
Patience
Long builds have a disadvantage of too much time to change your mind; new parts hit the market, new ideas hit your brain, etc.
I'm not even done but there are things I'd do differently now. Wish I would have considered a 19" rear wheel/tire combo out back, just for a little more tire height and to fill the fenderwells better. There are billet intakes now that would allow the intercooler to be located in the intake and top that's low enough to clear my stock SS hood. I like the Texas Speed intake I have and the intercooler I chose will work great, but it was a lot harder to fit in the car and to plumb the additional cold side piping.
For the most part I wouldn't make any radical changes to this build, as this one has been in my head for 50 years. Just picking the right color and getting my car back from Painter Jim are my next goals.
