Thought I'd take a few pics before I yank the motor out. The car developed a strange knock and it looks like it needs to come out to determine what the problem is....I suspect a rod bearing. Anyway aside from that I have a couple of minor electrical issues to deal with and a good once over everything and its about done. Not sure how big of a setback this is going to be but I'm still gonna push for the show in Aug.

It looks great!! I hope that knock isn't as bad as you suspect.

I really like the powdercoated (?) fan. Nice change up from the popular fully polished.

Ya, the knock is unfortunate but a certian ASF member has stepped up and offered to help me out...i really can't say how much I appreciate it.
That fan is painted not powdercoated...I had to order some special etch primer from work but it seems to be sticking nicely.

Thanks guys.
I did get the WW bumpers about 2 weeks ago and they are pretty nice! I have a W-decklid for the car which is painted but i got a good deal on another W-lid that needed some work and I decided I'd weld in the convertable grills. I'm finished with the first blocking of primer and it looks good...now it just needs a reprime...block and paint.
Silas...I actually don't like the sprint stars that much....or maybe it,s just the front tires..anyway something about it I don't like. I have the natural BRM's with 135's and DOT slicks which will probably be mounted on the car most of the time.

I know .I'll bet as soon as you finish it ,you'll spray a little spot of primer on the fender to make it look like you're not quite finished yet.....  :P
