So far its looking good other than getting the rotors to work. I may have to buy new ones. I think they are 11.5 dia. Who would have some basics that has 5/8 stud holes?

Check with speedway motors for the rotors. I believe they have them.

The anti roll bar wasn't really hard other than having to craw under over and between bars to weld but I got it done. I believe it'll hold.l

Special wax make special things shine.

Looking good boss.

Thanks man. Once I run across some 31/2 inch weld pro stars and a 61/2 inch extended hood im gonna take a chill pill.
Thanks again

You going with the lexan mailbox?

Yea, im figuring on getting some 1/4'' lexan and build one. I think I can do it. I want it to where it will stay on the carb when the hood is removed. That will require building a bracket kit. Don't want to spend 250 for a setup. I can build a nice one for bout a 100 bucks.

Looking good this thing should get it done

I wanted to go with the 1/4'' but it cost pretty good. I got lock washers and red lock tight on the screws and nuts. I was gonna rivet it together but its not coming apart without tearing apart. Thatlock tight stuff does damage or scores up lexan or glass period. I may just go ahead and paint it when I paint the hood. I may buy one later but not at the min. Im after front struts and coil over kit right now.[img:4f21]https://i381.photobucket.com/albums/oo259/tconne[URL=https://s381.photobucket.com/user/tconnection/media/HPIM0739_zpsdabb69a2.jpg.html]ction/HPIM0738_zps1ebece80.jpg[/img:4f21][/url]

With this bunch, it's not necessary to explain an oil stain on your garage floor. I tried to keep my new concrete floor clean...gave up on that nonsense two days later.

This job bout whip my butt. I aggravated the primer sealer and can tell it. and seeing some fish eyes. Hell I hope that's all to show up in the am. I know im gonna have to water sand it.

looks good from here

It did pretty ok. I haven't put it on the car yet to see how it looks. I may do it later tonite.
thanks!

The car was painted 5 yrs ago. I just got this hood and just painted it and the color isn't matching up perfect but good enough for me. Once I put a few stickers on it it'll be alright.

Quit stalling... it looks awesome, and it will run even better... START IT AND DO A BURNOUT...button up the lights and the rest of the trivials and go make the blue oval proud kicking some AZZ on the blacktop!

Oh yea I done got in a few runs down the street blowing the tires like crazy. The thing is really loud. My neighborhood don't say anything but I do over do it. Its a track car and im trying to get there. The temp got up to 190 for the first time.
Thanks
