  1. That's awesome. Where did you source the wheels?

    That's really cool. Nice job.
  3. Spent some time on this tonight. I got the idler pulley installed in the front of the blower. Did something new tonight. I added a shifter cable to the tranny. I'll add the speedo cable, dip stick and cooling lines later. I have a seperate tranny cooler I'll be using. I also lengthened the package tray: And I mocked up the wheels and tires. I know they're not very 80's but they do look good under there: I may use aluminum wheels........not sure yet. We'll see. Thanks for looking.

    Man is that sharp!!! Love the color!
  5. I finally have some progress to show on this one. Here's my engine. I've still got to add plug wires, the idler pulley for the blower belt and an alternator. I've also got to add the starter with it's wiring and the shifter cable. I will be detailing the chassis on this one. Here's the bare front subframe, modded to fit the big block and turbo 400. Notice I also filled all the grooves in to make it look better. Here's the engine mocked up in the car. I only had to remove some molded in bumps from the inner fenders to get the big block exhaust manifolds to work. Headers would have been a nightmare. And here's the trunk mocked up. I've still got room for the nitrous bottles (Which have not arrived yet). It will be full but should look pretty cool. as always thanks for looking!!!
  6. I'd use those headers too. Lately on some of my builds I've debated leaving them off cuz you can't even see them. I love this build
  7. What a gorgeous build. That red really pops. I love it!
  8. Holy COW!!! Those look awesome! Are the tabs just glued to the wire?
  9. Right now I'm planning on keeping it. I like the way it looks.......I'm still trying to design a paint scheme that pays homage to the Dobbertin car but is still unique enough to be my own.....
  10. I apply the superglue and then while it's still wet sprinkle the baking soda on the glue. It hardens instantly and forms a really strong bond.
  11. Thank you so much!!!! Those pics are a HUGE help. Like they say a picture is worth 1000 words. I've got a really good idea of the clearance I need to make now. Again thanks!!!
  12. Thank youvVery much for the info!!!! Yes pictures would be VERY helpful as I'm getting ready to start on the engine bay.
