What's the history on this T3?

ie. where did the scoops/flares come from?

-Dave

i think acid may have played a big role in it, or else some heavy heavy rotation of floyd....

Around 71/72 added flares and the scoops were added to produce a "cold air" to the twin carbs, The engine was from tony hill, will find out the size next time I can talk to peter. Case blew out the rear and cracked the main journal casting about eight inch's in the middle. Not so cool. :o

Dam that looks sweet! Old School for sure. I think I have the script but if i remember correct the tabs were broken. Have a look at some of your early bay buses as I think they were the same.

Well, Got her down to front wiring and getting to carpet this week, I went dynomat happy on the car, Just for cruising style.
Got the rear window in with the cal look rubber, might swap to the orig rubber, not so happy with the way it looks.
Will have picts up in the next few days.
Added rear wiring from taillights for fuse panel and got a really nice Hurst shifter from a customer at work.
Cleaned up well and the reverse cable even works!!

Found a old Grant steering wheel three spoke wood, (indy 500 wood replica) gonna try a few different wheels.

Cheers
