Little Bit 'O' Progress
« on: June 25, 2011 - 11:56:29 AM »
Painstakingly slow progress but I am going to school full time now and only have an alley to work in. Virtually all my tools are in a storage unit 5 States away. I need to get my carb up to Ontario to the Carb Shop go over it. I have a set of wheels on the way but I need to have San Diego Gear and Axle shorten up the rear before I can put them on. Wish I would have thought ahead and ordered the Strange rear with the right length. It would have been no cost to me at that point.
I've got a bunch of parts ready to go on; grille, trim, lower valance and chin spoiler....

But I did get a hood!

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

That's one shiney AAR hood.  I like it, used to seeing only the mat-black
- Looking good!  :cheers:
