Backdated the rear, got some help aligning the holes.

French taillights ... nice and rare!

Almost done with the manifold cover. Need to fix a few issues with it.
Not sure if I am going to keep the "H" or not.

Uf I do maybe paint the background red?

Hard to tell, the part does have a curve to it, taller in the middle than the sides.

That looks bitchin Mike. I think the red background would be a cool touch. Kind of a Type R callout. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Nice! I'd delete the H. But that's just me.

Drove the '74 for the first time in two weeks last night. Just went to the gym and back but it was still 50 miles of twisty roads out of Valley Center to San Marcos and back.
Loved every minute of it although, some of the dash lights have gone dark. Gonna have to take a look at that when I have time breath.

Very happy despite encountering problems aligning the new holes. I used the posted measurement as a guide as well as painting the ends of the studs to mark. I got three bolts in now but even that was a struggle. Definitely need another set of hands.
One thing I don’t care for; the license plate lights show. If they were flush, it would look a lot cleaner. Anyone done that ?

Last time I was under the car I noticed that it had been fitted with the brake backing plates for a venting system... I managed to piece meal the parts together to redo the scoop and hose sections and finally put them on today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
The vents hang low, hopefully I don't knock them off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
