Looks like the same color me and my painter (Larrys Paint And Body) just got thru painting a 40 ford sedan. It was a 67 VW color.
I really like the old neutral colors... no razzle dazzle, metallics, or pearls--just neat paint with a good shine!!!!!
Wow! I like it. Can't wait to see interior colors.
Here's the bullet goin into it.
nuttin fancy, just a little ole 410 incher.
Nuttin radical, but you'll know it ain't no 350 when ya hit the LOUD PEDAL
Very cool pulley system. The valve covers are right on the mark. Are you running breathers on both sides?
Don
I notice you're using a Unisteer r&p. Is this the unit that bolts to the Vega mount? If so, is it worth it to replace a fairly good working Vega box with one of these? :confused:

My line guy(Bill Knight) stopped by today.
Asked me what I wanted, my response "Do what ever ya want"
Well as usual he hit the nail on the head, with colors and design.
Nice lines! The guy has talent.
Got the Rodwell/Wanlass windsheild mounted this A.M.
It's wired and fired.
Got new shoes on it and 100 miles.
Goin to "Mangus" next week for the Coconut Husk guts.
Picked it up from "my Brother with a differant mother" "Mangus" today.
He hit the nail on the head again.
See ya @ LARS
Love the carpet. How do they make the seat back go taller than yours (like almost over the top). Secondly How long of a steering column, and does manfacter make a diff. Thanks again
The simplicity of the trim job has certainly nailed it and again the whole package has that wow factor that each and everybody strive to accomplish on their own builds. After the show will the For Sale sign go on it to be able to start another hobby build..
Dennie, The carpet is German Square weave ($$$$)Quote:
