    Yea, I don't have them screwed in just have them sitting there.  Made the appointment to get the headliner put in but she is backed up, that's why I don't have any front seats yet.

    Maybe something like this might appeal to your tastes, notice their is a drop base 14" air cleaner base modified to fit on to the oval air cleaner base for extra hood clearance.  These oval bases are available in fibreglass and easy to modify. :2thumbs:

    That is the look I am after.  Where do you get the air grabber style air cleaner to start with?  I seen an ad in MCG for a fiberglass style called Hybrid fiberglass?  Are these any good?

    I think they are the guys who have them, These pics are what i have collected for reference sake but will most likely do the same way when i build.  Let me know what you decide and if you get in touch with them.

    It does now!  They have the short block together and bolted on the heads.  Had to order push rods & external sump kit & pump as the #1 rod hit the oil sump when they mocked it up.   :banghead:  That wasn't supposed to happen but guess what.  Also the 440source Stealth heads had issues with the valve retainers & locks so they replaced them with Crane stuff.  They said otherwise the heads looked good and should make some nice power.  Should be ready to bolt  it up to the Dyno sometime next week.   :thumbsup:

    Been kinda slow lately, waiting for the 512 to get completed.  Should have it back next week after it hits the dyno.  Here is a few pics to share from my progress.  Have the wing installed.  All the side windows & weather stripping.  Still need the headliner installed to put in the windshield & rear glass otherwise the interior is about complete.  Engine bay is ready for the engine.  Thanks for all the great comments!   :cheers:

    Thanks for the pics.  Please take a lot of them.  You pics can be an excellent reference for someone putting one of these together.  The car is very nice.  :2thumbs:
