    I remember seeing that in Autoweek. IIRC, it was a cleacoat additive and only 2 oz were used per vehicle. Still, that's $938 worth. DON'T SPILL IT! :)

    Looks awsome Russ. :thumbs2:
    I personaly would be waiting on installing the radiator cause it could get damaged accidently, but that's me. Maybe your just mocking it, I don't know.

    Gene, it's just easier to get everything back over to my place than having a bunch of loose pieces...

    Stock leafs (just the upper two) moved inboard 3" per side on Caltrac's. With the minitubs it'll hold a 14" tire. I'll be using M&H 325 drag radials on 10" wheels...

    Coming home today!

    Guys,

    My Mav should be home this afternoon! I'll need to finish the wiring, add a fuel system, have a rear seat made, and other minor stuff. Oh, and get the drivetrain in!

    Yup, I found some matching blue vinyl in my cabinet and cut the inserts from it. Rears are 10", front are 6". Tires are M&H 325-50's and 185-75's. Amazing what a mini-tub and relocated springs can fit. I have 1" on the inside and about that on the (rolled) fender lip.

    The bumpers were out for chroming at the time, but I have them here at the house ready to go. I'll be posting more pix as things get finished...
