I was wondering if that was a Ross Gibson. I've always wanted to try one of those pieces, but havn't had the money when a suitable project came along. I can't wait to see more!

Yeah those Gibson engines looks pretty sweet, my buddy got their 350 TPI but the fitment was horrible, pretty nice detail bu thats about it.
What kind of induction system are you shooting for?

Keep it up!

Other than cleaning up the mating surfaces, I found it to be a pretty good kit. All resin casts, need a little massaging.

As far as induction, I'm thinking of a dual inlet coming from in front of each fenderwell and then mating the two pipes at the plenum. Simple, yet cool looking.

It's been a while since an update!

The business and landscaping the new house has taken priority...for now!

I have decided in a color/colors. I'm going with a pewter color for sure nd leaning heavily on two toning it with black. Altho, not very original. This color combo still makes a statment.

I have to find time to go to a hobby shop and pick up some tube styrene to create hubs for the aftermarket wheels. Once I do this, I can set ride height.

Next on the agenda after that will be setting the height of the 502 in the chassis.

I should have some new photos for you guys shortly.
