Just a steel Goodmark hood.. I wanted CF but they couldn't have it done in time for SEMA. I might add one later though. Originally Posted by 67SSDan

The speedo has been calibrated and works great when the car is in motion. When at idle it gyrates all over the place like it's on crack.. again, time to call SW.
The clear protection is on the car so she's ready for the road. Next week she goes in for a super double-throw-down alignment.
I still have a squeek in the front drive assembley. I doesn't make noise at idle, just under load. I've replaced both the tensioner and idler pullies so it must be the PS, ALT or water pump..
I still need to wire in the Racepak..
Anyways, that's the Penny update.. and for visting the thread here's a bonus shot. This was taken by Mike Harrington of Super Chevy and was one of the candiates for the cover (but it was never used).. was taken up in the mountains.

Great shot! Nice to hear you are driving her..... How does she feel on the road? Have you gotten much road time since SEMA?

Other than it being a pro-touring inspired 60's fbody, I'm not seeing much of a similarity. Originally Posted by Young Gun

When completed, my car will probably look closer to penny than that 'bird... but simply because I've wanted an Orange '68 to set along side my SOM '02 ever since I picked her up 6 years ago. The color won't be quite the same, have a more traditional interior, different wheels, and she'll be dressed in RS trim, but I can hear the outcries already.
There are only so many colors in the rainbow, and limited cars to put them on. There have been so many pro-touring style cars built lately, there's bound to be overlap between the builds.

Just because of color. Nothing else is even close to the same much less the quality........go figure. Anyway like you said there are only so many colors and the funny thing is Prowler Orange is an OEM Chrysler color from the 02 Prowler, I loved the color when I first saw it in 02.

That 'bird is awesome, even though I'm not a fan of the hood on it.
It is very difficult to keep your self control when someone has just busted your baby. When I was in a wreck with my T/A (wasn't my fault... guy came flying by me and hydroplaned in front of me), I could have beat him when he started yelling at the officer because he didn't understand why his insurance had to pay. We were in the back seat of the patrol car behind the cage so I'm pretty sure I could have got a few punches before the officer could have got to him (and I was quite upset). After listening to the same thing "why does my insurance have to pay" a few times, the officer turned around and told him about the numerous tickets he would issue him if he didn't shut up.
Glad to see Penny back on the road, it is an awesome machine!!1995 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 "Clone"

Is there any one spot with a bunch of details on the build? Such as steering column, fuel cell, and such?
Great car!

Or feel free to ask me any questions in here."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

Well, the steering column first off.
Hints and tips on your wiring of switches for the car, keeping the engine bay clean.
Look forward to the list, not trying to copy Bad Penny, but there are a lot of ideas I'd like to try, or if not then I have an idea of what I want to do before I do something and have to tear back into the car to change it.
Like I wish I would have thought of/know about how to smooth the firewall before I had it painted body color and installed the motor and such.
