slow down mad max...we're getting to your thread playboy!! But yo this is some great work you're doing...is that a 350 you're putting in?

Yep, 30 over 350, all new internals. 882s, nothing special. 488 lift cam 😀 sounds sweet with the turbo mufflers

That copper looks good on that engine,what color you going on the body and paint.

yeah i like the copper too. i was thinking silver for the paint. i like the silveer with my wheels, but im looking for a 'different' kind of silver to go with. any suggestions let me know!

[MadMax]

I'm thinking of going with all stock interior, but re-dying everything the factory grey but with alot of black as well. I already have plans for black carpet, and all the dash wood grain will be black as well. I have a couple sweet bucket seats that came from a beretta z26, and i'm thinking about doing a couple experiments

oh yeah, and i'm adding a hurst v-matic 2 floor shifter

looks good...

3M double sided tape to hold those emblems on the valve covers. just make sure they are super clean and I think youll be fine.

Worked out alot of mechanical bugs this weekend. The car did it's first burnout too lol. Still have a little bit of welding to do, and then the rest of the bodywork before i get on with the interior.

The picture is such a big deal because this is the first time i have snapped it with the hood down, with motor and trans in the car. Just means she's another step closer.

Coated a bunch of stuff in Rust-Mort last night. Messed around with some interior paint. Not alot of progress, but it's coming along!!! 8)

Bad news...the rust mort killed the rust, but i guess i put it on too thick. Went to spray some primer on it to start blocking and the top started to peel off!!!! :evil:

Stripped it down to metal (a few times) before the primer finally started to stick. But it's in primer, and the final coat will hopefully go on this weekend. No paint til spring time. I'll post some pics when i get some real progress done.
