Nice work ! wifes car hey? Ive bought alot of stuff that way too! although in hind sight the car wash kit and vacume as not good birthday gift! lol

cant wait to see what that valance will look like. Like what you did with the fenders. Question wont closing the cowl vent affect airflow to the engine compartment or to the cabin?

[Ls1velle]

The problem i have with the cowl vent is they always look like crap bent fins you can never get paint down inside so it peels etc. Will it affect engine bay air? No. Cabin air? Yes, a little. Im not that concerned about it because there is other holes for air to get in and i might add a few more if needed.
Rols574 your build is crazy, i love it. Amazing work!!! I was thinking of moulding the quarter ext in to the quarters but leaving the bumper and rear valance seperate.

[Rols574]

Thanks, I'm about to do a big update, wheels, front disc brakes and TCP front suspension. decided to upgrade to a 302 and dump the Coyote idea, only because i decided to own a 67 Camaro and if i go the Coyote engine way it wouldn't make sense financially. but man that Griggs suspension sure tempted the hell out of me

Great build, very creative ideas for your mods. can't wait to see it come together

I'll be watching this one

[Ls1velle]

Took a quick look at the trunk lid and hood yesterday, both look pretty good other than having to weld up where the FORD emblem on the hood is and a few small dents. Also spent a bit of time fitting the headlight bucket and extensions, they fit like s@#t.

[Ls1velle]

Started to fit the rear bumper i picked up for a local resto shop along with a few other missing pieces.

Shaved the bolts and welded in the brackets.


Cut apart the ends to get them to fit nice and tight.

[Ls1velle]
