No kidding! When does the rest of the paint fly?

Tom
rest of the paint won't happen now until I can get it brought up to New Hampshire from Florida. Might be several months I'm afraid still would like some of your sweet lights if I can swing the coin..

How quickly we forget... You will need all the extra room you can get with the height of that engine I think. Have you made a dry run at the fitment?

I have a 1 inch body lift on it, yep, gonna be tight. Have a carb spacer on it right now between the carb and intake. So we'll see if adjustments need to be made. If so, that will hopefully be where it can be taken care of {fingers crossed}.

A quick shot of the painted inside firewall. I'm not going to paint most of the interior because it would be a waste of paint. Putting down Wild Horses Racket Jacket sound proofing and then carpet.

Right now, I am thinking all the same color with perhaps a possible flat black with some slight metallic in it for grill. 'Been toying with the idea to accent the side with some sort of strip of the same color. Still not sure though.

Looks great Mike! I would love to see it in person so my offer still stands..... On your way back from Florida stop by for dinner. I'm literally 3-4 minutes off 95.
