That center looks awesome, I have ideas on homemade stuff myself on some details. Let's see what happens during the winter.

About my car, look here: https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=6327

Here's a few more update pics. The cross ram will have injection fitted inside the plenum chamber & the carbs will act as throttle bodies when finished, so that it all looks original. The Offenhauser logos have since been removed & a winters foundry casting added,along with the removal of the throttle linkage bracketry, just to fake it to look like a genuine, rare, GM cross ram.

Here's a close up of the rusty holes around the rear screen aperture. Because it's hard to get body panels here in Britain I decided to cut it all out & weld in new steel.

There was rust around the joint between the 1/4 & hinge panel, so I cut out the rust, formed a new piece & welded in a new section.

The car originally had a vinyl roof, which when removed showed very badly pitted/corroded steel. I decided to lead load/body solder these sections to build the steel thickness back up to original.

Here's an update on how things are going. The roof had a lot of corrosion across the front, so it was cut out & new metal welded in. That was then leaded ready for primer
