Sweet Ride.
P.S. Where can I find a hood like that?

[Riceman65]

Dont know about the hood came with the car. I dont like it myself but its free and i could rework it. gonna start looking for steel hood soon.

finished the carbon fiber overlay for gauges .. not sure if i like it though. maybe it will fit better when surround by dash and panels. also refinished fuel tank, sanded, epoxy primed and painted a fairly close galvanized look. well im off to AZ tomorrow and will try to hook up with AZ nick, get my Dash Pad ordered and shipped. Then go christmas shopping at Harbor Freight. lol, wish we had one in Hawaii.

Happy Labor Day weekend. few small updates, got all ebay insulation and installed it. also fabbed a mount plate for the amp in trunk and a block off plate for blower motor. (saving up money for some vintage air) talked the wife into climbing in trunk and test fitting and wiring amp and speakers. gonna bedline trunk here in the next few weeks.
stereo sounds great lots of bass. rattles the trunk rod though so i had to insulate rod with a piece of rubber hose.
