Lettering is going on today by my mate Dan ............. always love this part.

All pukka American one shot paint.

Will finish other jobs within the next few weeks so the car can go to Hot Rod Drags.

Absolutely superb Jon, that looks perfect..is this one remaining "smart" or will it get "distressed"?

This will have a bottom half laquer over the sign writing and be kept clean and shiney

remember ... this is going on the road too !!

Yep, like that

The diamond pleat interior is a nice touch too, don't often see that on anything other than rods these days.

Kevlar hood now painted and ready to fit. MSD ignition, leads and coil on.
Need to refit seat and install harness. Alli radiator and hoses to fit. Tidy a bit of wiring then it is ready for HRDs.

Change of plan .... this car cannot go on road due to fuel consumption ... it drinks 1 gallon of fuel for 4 minutes idling ( have checked there is no fuel washing down the bores, it is all being burnt

).

Engine is even more responsive with the MSD on.
