That looks great,makes me want to keep mine and build it.I'm thinking of putting it up for sale.I like the looks of post cars.Extending the body line back really makes a big difference.

Thanks for props guys!! Much appreciated. As said it's hard - especially seeing the car was suppose to be done 2 years ago.

Thanks again for the lead Rick on the door handles. John was great to deal with.

Still drooling over it Jim. Thanks again!!

I came across a few pics from about a year ago. I was working on getting the motor compartment fabbed up. The inner wells, radiator cradle, pulley arrangement. Originally I was going with a Vintage Air front runner set up. A very cool compact set up but once the motor was in and I tried laying the radiator back 17 degrees to be parallel with the angle of the inner wells. I could only lay it down 5 degrees before coming in contact with it. I really wanted to keep it on the same plane so I starting searching around for other options. I came Jones Racing Products. They had a cool aggressive cog belt system I had to have. Great people to deal with. After doing some fabbing on the ALT bracket, I was able to run 1 belt for the WP, ALT & PS, and 1 for the AC. I have a second pulley for the crank that will drive the AC which will be mounted down low on the chassis on the pass side. Not much to look at - but it's a little something.

Hey Brent!! Car looks awesome! The bodywork looks amazing. I bet you are pretty excited to see it in its current condition. Good luck on the rest of the build. I'll be watching this thread with anticipation...
