I just finished the fiberglass hood and cowl yesterday. Tomorrow I’ll drop those parts off with my painter. That will take a week. In a few days I’ll begin again with the blower installation. I need to machine an adapter for the crank pulley. That’s made from a 4” cold rolled steel
round bar. It’s a simple piece but it needs to me machined perfectly due to the strength/balance requirements.

Lasater- Cool, closer & closer. That was a beast before. Now I gotta find a more appropriate word for your latest updated Panel.

The U-tube vid is AWESOME. Your ride is rumbling.

Sinister and mean looking, probably the missing bumper. Nice work. Thanks for the updates

Lasater- I see a windshield. You conquered that lil bump in the road it seems. Is it glass or lexan ?

Looks smoking Hot. That grille emblem is from a 55 or 56 chevy car, I'm betting.. Nice touch on the SS grille.

Windshield has NOT been sorted out yet. I’ve been working on other stuff. I’ll get back to it soon. The front emblem is a ‘55

I just assumed (& we know how that ends) seeing a windshield. Doh.. Yep, thought it was '55 or '56. It looks like it should have come that way. But then it wouldn't be unique as your Panel definitely is !!!!

Before the blower, love the idle and exhaust notes
