the scoops looks a bit big but the front end isn't there to get the whole picture. I do like those scoops though.

Does anybody know what stripe kit is used on the car in the video?

 

[Mike Ricketts]

Very cool. I had a F-body racecar.

 

[Mgc340]

Got he firewall pretty much put in and the master cylinders and brake pedal mounted. Coming along.

 

[Mike Ricketts]

Lots of time and money. It should be very nice!

That video of that 79 Duster sure looked like a nice clean car. Even up close. Mines a 10' car in dim lighting LOL

Few updates. Rear end is completely done except for installing anti-roll bar but the coil overs are in and wishbone. Had to shorten the rear end 3/4 of a inch on both sides to get proper wheel spacing. It's coming along. Going with a power glide trans. JW made the conversion real easy. Not many big things left to buy other then the rotating assembly.

That car was bought from that show room by Mike whom I bought my car from. Then he sold it to someone else.

 

[Mgc340]

Sorry for not posting in a while. Took a little break from the internet lol. The car now running, And we just got paint done last weekend. Have to cut and buff the paint. Hopefully have it to the track at least one time this year yet to break the engine in.
