So what off that list is going to be in the POD? Any thoughts of a big speedo like a GT angled towards the driver?

Do you have a picture from the inside with the hood on? That would probably make the vision clearer.

I have not got that far yet. I want to get the seats and column mounted in it first and then make the decision on what guages to use. Possibly a racepak or the stewart warner maximum performance guages in a 5". Not sure. What is the GT you are talking about???

I like how the cowl is carried all the way to the wind shield but the hood itself ends before then. That's cool. Do you intend to keep it that way? Great project name. That'll make for interesting conversation at shows and such.

Don't you 1st gen guys like any other colors beside black or silver? Love the look your going with but the color choice isn't too exciting.

Ok,

I sort of agree with you somewhat. I love black and silver on a firstgen like everyone else, but I have built numerous of each color and I have been thinking of going with something else especially since Stielow's 67 was revealed as silver. Love his car and think its awesome, but I want something different since it will be hard to top that silver on his anyway! Haha. I am going to spray out some samples in the next couple weeks of some different colors... I will keep you guys posted, hopefully once I get back from vacation in a week or so I will have time to get some updated pics!

I do plan on keeping it that way. I have actually been working on it quite a bit, just havent loaded pics! The concept that Ironworks started was really cool, they had just not finished it when I got the car. I cut it out and started over, and I think its going to work well. I plan on mounting some guages in the cowl panel that you will only be able to see when the hood is open as well since its raised up there is room to do so...
