    Only thing that doesn't look right about it, is the braces for the front spoiler. Engine and interior pics along with specs.

    They look like bumper guards.

    Anytime. Don't tell me you've never been to a car show and walk away says, "why the F&%k did they do that to it".

    Cool car!

    What wheels do you have? ... they are very similar to my old centerlines

    Also, I like how the air cleaner seals to the hood. Did you fabricate the seal pan or is that something you can buy?

    I made it. It’s a five dollar pizza pan 16” from Walmart. Lol. I cut a hole in it put a small amount of JB Weld around it put small rivets to hold onto the air cleaner that was in the car and rather than raising throttlebody I raised the top with plastic rings To lift the air cleaner. I liked that old school of them and it performs excellent. Bought that on eBay. And cut that down to size for the right height. The gasket stuff I believe I bought on Amazon I had to get a believed of like 18 feet or something crazy and that was expensive that was like 70 bucks if you decide to build one I can sell you what you need. My wheels are rambler wheels 18 x 8 in the back and I went 17 x 7 in the front. And just centered offsets I didn’t want to pay extra money I would like them a little closer to the fender in the rare but they fit there about three eights of an inch away from the rear leaf.

    Delta bay mustang and Maverick was around 75 bucks it’s very close to the distributor cap bolt it up pretty good Had to manipulate it a bit. I like the fact that it has the pole pins on it to get it out-of-the-way quickly if need be But they hit the hood a bit when closed
