Thanks Bill. I appreciate the honesty. I will continue to research pics on the web and in magazines. I have a Viper IRS that I was thinking of putting under a '72 GTO, but was also considering a Halibrand type rear.

That is such a classic FE car. Love it. Looking forward to more. There's also a great article about it in the Jan. '13 issue of Hot Rod.

They look great Chris. Go with it.

Looks great Tyrone. More please.

I haven't searched this entire Tips, Tricks, etc for this topic, but I would like to learn how to set up a different rearend on a car. For instance, set up an independent rear for a kit that came with a solid axle or vice versa. Or set up a Halibrand rear. Where should the mounting points be ? Which rears use coilovers ? Swaybars ? I would like info for converting 70s to the present cars to any of the mentioned rearends. I appreciate any help.

Good info. Thanks.

Great info Dave. Thanks for sharing. I've never seen one of those pumps up close.

Excellent job so far. I would never attempt hand painting those numbers' outline myself.

An excellent issue.

I agree with Henry that these are very helpful updates. Thank you for showing us all the details.

Looking great young man. Excellent progress.

You're on the right track Chris. Making the top of those fender vents parallel to the fender will do it. The 1:1 pics are definitely distorted. Just look at the ceiling and balcony curvature. Looking forward to more updates.

Another excellent job Bruce. Excellent.

I could be wrong but I think the curvature that was mentioned is due to the distortion of the image from the lens. No ? Yes ?

Great work.

Looks great. More, more.

Just finished this thread.................WOW...................phenomenal work John.

Looking great John. I agree with everyone. I'm sure it will be another stunning build when finished. Chris- you're right. It will look great next to your Army FC. Ha.

A great build so far. The chute detail looks good. I see a tiny decal on the valve cover. Looks good. I know tiny ones like that can be a challenge.

Looks great. You say the paint has been decanted a long time. How long can paint be decanted before it has to be used or gets a skin on top ? I've never decanted anything but want to soon.

I like it. Looking forward to more.

Looks pretty good so far.

Echoing what everyone else says - it looks great. I learn a lot from your builds. Is the bracket at the top of the windshield driver's side to hold a box for toggle switches ?

Looks great Brett. I always liked the Missile. What's next on the bench ?

Much better clearance for the firewall Mr. Sobak. That's where I ran into trouble AND in the hood opening. I had to enlarge it to accomodate the fuel lines. You're making great progress and it looks like a good solid build all around, nothing that you won't be afraid to handle.
