There's 100 miles on the car now, and luckily, only minor items that needed fixing. I turned my attention to the front bumper which I needed to shorten up since it was way too wide. I did that to the back bumper which required about 6" to be taken out. The front needed 8 total. This now fits correctly.
This week I'll install my 2x2 intake and once I know it's running correctly, the disassembly will start for paint and a few other things I still need to fab on. The grille openings need to be massaged to fit the real parts, then all the trim heads to the chrome shop.
I'm in talks with a custom wheel maker to have a set of polished aluminum wheels made. Design will be like the Rudge, but a heck of a lot lighter.
More to come!
Cheers
Dave
