Thought I'd post a few pics of my continuing (what seems like a life long project.)
Pic 1 is of the front corner,I finally got around to painting the Getty Design hood on the front that I bought last Aug. This past weekend,after the paint had set on it about a month,I color sanded it and buffed it out. I spent 4 hours sanding & buffing on the hood alone. Sorry about the dark pic it was taken late in the day. If ya look towards the cowl area of the pics,you can see the ridge beam of my carport,It's 12 feet up from the floor. Ron Attached image(s) |

The entire intake unit turned around 180 degrees.the throttle body was then flipped over.There is still enough slack in the vacuum lines and wiring for it all to still reconnect.
I saw it done to a car in a magazine,called Patrick's to pose the question,and he said that's how it's done with no cutting to the trunk.This summer when I get it in I'll know for sure,but whatever the result,I'll make it work w/o butchering up my trunk. WHEELS. The backs are 18x10's w/a 52mm offset I think.There are 2" spacers on ea.side. Fronts are interesting.Fronts started out as scrap 18x10s from a local dealership.same 52mm ofset.Sent them to Wheels of America in Dallas.They narrowed them to 18x8,trued them,balanced them,and refinished them for $125.00 ea.They are perfectly backspaced now w/o any spacers on the front,just the stock 914/6 hubs.
