All wired up except the gauges which I will complete this weekend. I an going with Dewitts LS dual fan radiator so we are getting there. It will be on the road this spring.

Looking awesome. I just noticed the painted bumper. I'm curious to see what you do for the grill opening area. Any hints on wheels?

Thanks Neil, I was thinking of a mesh grille like the RideTeck corvette but I think I will stay with the 71 grille's. I saw your CCW's for your car and they look great just a few more dollars than I want to spend. Going into this project I have stuck with Team Three wheels (LT's), 18 x 10 and 18 x 12's with 275 front and 335 in the rear. Here is a pic of the wheels

However I am open to some suggestions for the front grille opening.

I would like to thanks again Stahl Headers (Greg Stump [email protected]) Jim at Classic Air and auto for the FIA set up (http://www.classicaircraftautoinc.com/) Blue Print Engines and Jeff Leech at Mid America Industries (309 787 5119). Its been a long haul but the beast will be on the road soon.

The Team III's were on my short list as well. Great looking wheel. I have Minilite's on my Camaro too.

Any good ideas other than the stock grilles

I am probably going to make a custom aluminum surround with a mesh insert.

That is my other option and have it all blacked out which I will do if I use the stock grille's
