Ok fellows....I have the engine in it's final resting place and I got the hole cut in the hood. Lot of mockups to make sure things are still fitting correctly. I'm looking good so far.
Thank's David. I like how the stance turned out on this one. Yup, auto makers back in the day wanted to make a statement with all the chrome up front. They wanted you to know who's car it was coming down the street.
Thanks Roger. Well....I'd like the hood to fit without any mods but at this point the hood will not fit. The crank pulley is setting on the crossmember. I'm going to take another look at what I can do.
I worked at this for a while and finally got that Big ole 572 to set down on the chassis with the cab and fenders in place. The inner fenders had to be removed and the headers where flipped.
