I'll let you know on the pads. I'm not sure I'll have the energy to put them on before my race Saturday since they won't be here until Friday and my folks will be in town. I will defiinitely have them on for the El Toro deal.

Ah, I see it now. I'd love to see a close up of the fittings when you get time. It's hard to find a good spot for the regulator with the NHRA rule about no firewall mounting.
You mentioned racing on Saturday. Is that still the plan, if so, where? I'll be roaming around Southern Cal/Vegas this weekend and would like to see your handywork on the track.
The interior is complete and vaccumed. I'm still waiting on my conical seal. Should have it tomorrow. I bought a set of Ring Brother hood pins about a week before I pulled the old engine. The car is done minus the conical seal so I spent a bunch of time getting the hood on as square as possible. It's the best it's ever been. Drilling 1 1/4 holes through my hood and radiator support was a blast. I decided to install the hood pin where the bump stop is factory. I then made my own bump stops out of stainless allen head button bolts and moved themat a 45 degree angle. Turned out sweet! Last time I raced the hood popped and I don't want that happening again! Yep, that's a chip in the header panel.
The hood pins look great , that hood won't be going anywhere. I love that radiator. I'd like one for mine but I would need to put it on a loooooong lay away payment plan. lol. I hope that seal comes in for you. Its got to be killing you to not be able to drive it yet.
First chip?? NOW it is a race car! The reflection looks like CalTrans... for every guy doing something there's at least one guy leaning on something else.
The car REALLY has turned out beautiful! I would love to be at El Toro to see it and all the other great machines but family must come first. And I have to ask, how many times over the years did you (if ever) screw something up before you got your fabrication skills to the point they are now? In my eyes you turn out the kind of work that comes out of the high dollar fab shops. "Where 'GOOD ENOUGH' isn't."
Larry, I'm no fabricator. I'm just decent at design, packaging, and making things work together. Parts like these Ring Bros hood pins and plates make me look great.
That chip happened with about 300 miles on the clock. It's go more than one.
