Very Nice! Looks like you are having alot of fun! That is what it is all about.



Your body shop guy did a great job integrating the fiberglass... it was seemless!

We all will love to see your progress! There are a lot of great resources on this forum... if you need them.

fun indeed! i almost enjoy this fabricating more then actually driving it



replaced the rear oil pressure regulator with one of racing beat. then i shimmed the front regulator.





replaced the thermal by-pass pellet with a racing beat eliminator





put in the racing beat oil-baffle plate





started renewing the tape on the entire wiring loom, because i am not going to tuck away any wiring, it needs to be in shape when i am putting it all back together





test fitted my alternator relocation bracket, needs some adjustment for getting the pulleys aligned properly and also the mounting needs to be fixed. finishing it up this week, then i can measure what belts i need





then it was time for some work on the engine itself. sprayed it with a nice and fresh new colour.





and another one...







resulting in:











going back at it tomorrow
