I did work out a deal with Dale, I posted earlier but I guess that post got lost.
Anthony, I think I might mini tub it here locally, it will give me something to do..  I got some other ideas also..
Hope the family is well,
SW

We are also building a 70 RS "clone," which is to say that we cut up a non-RS car and put RS goodies on it. Not to try to pass it off as an RS, but rather because the front nose with the split bumpers, etc is just too sexy. The car is going in for paint this week, hoping to have it done for the Good Guys Del Mar show this year (which is extremely aggressive). I love the lines and look of these cars too, and watching the local pricing on donor cars or original ones, well, the price is going up which hurts the typical hobbyist. Still some great deals out there though, and if you need to replace sheet metal, it's available in the aftermarket and over fits pretty darned good (unlike panels of five or ten years ago).
Mini-tubed, our 3-Link rear setup, it'll also be the first (second?) car to get our front suspension goods too (stock front frame based), custom leather interior, etc. Only thing not set in stone is the color of the paint, and the exact wheel selection. I'm really excited about it, there are a good number of them out there already built, but not nearly as many as the first gen's (which I also love/have one, there are just so many of them though). If you have the means and opportunity to buy one, don't hesitiate!

This post was lost as well yesterday. I was trying to tell you buy it SW.
Here's some pics of a nice Red 2nd Gen that was on Ebay a while back. I like them with the bigger rear spoilers myself, but that's just my opinion.

PM sent earlier...if it didn't go through, it's a 2 1/2 cowl. Fiberglass style with functional cowl induction. I have an oval dual quad air cleaner that fits perfectly under and within the cowl.
Sorry, I don't have a good pic of the underside of the hood right now, but I can get you one. Here's the best I can do. It shows the induction and the amount of clearance the hood allows. I'll try to post better pics later.
