Things are progressing nicely. Body work is looking real good, and the car should be in primer in a week or two.

Finally have a solid plan for the design and construction of the front clip.

A lot of parts have been slowly trickling in. Oil line, fuel line, fittings, etc.

Finally found some lifters that will work, and the engine is coming along nicely. Pictures soon!

I hope they're round!  :-D

Mike, look on page 31. There's couple different wheel pictures there. Other than the back spacing, my wheels aren't any different than any other 15" steel wheel.

If you need more detailed pics, lemme know and I'll email them to ya Mike.

My PC blew again so I'm working off a laptop. Can't email but I did see the wheel rim. I wanted to check the lip. It's exactly what I hoped.

The discs I'm doing for you locate on a profile that matches the lip of the wheel.
The finished product will be flush with the edge and not sitting inside. :wink:

If you had a mag wheel I'd be in IT big time. I'm on the tooling for that part of the discs so not long now.

Hank looks a little spotty right now.  :roll: I'll throw up a couple pics for you guys this evening.  :cheers:

So much for a couple pics. :roll: The shop is entirely too crowded. I got one for ya'll just to prove I'm still working on it!

I hate doing body work, but it is needed. Hank probably won't be show car perfect, but she won't look too bad either.

And for those of you paying attention; in this instance Hank is most definitely a girls name!

To much car porn? Sorry had to say it!

I wish.

There's huge construction going on up the road and the electricians there seem to make mistakes connecting to the grid. 8 power packs in 6 months but I wised up and got surge protection yesterday.
And I thought it was the PC. :-o

Joe, Hank looks the part. You've done a lot and it shows. Good on you man. :cheers:
