I'm looking forward to seeing this finished, well done Don.

I did it my way..... sung by Frank Sinatra springs to mind...

I like your bonnet with Naca duct...did you cut that in yourself? Sorry not ready every post.

Agreed - forget the flares Don.

 

[DonMuscles]

Sorry Rob...

My only vision is with the flares on there.

 

[DonMuscles]

And the bonnet already had the duct in it.

Pretty well done. .

Straight intake into the carb air filters.

Cold feed. .

 

[Rob Gaskin]

[DonMuscles]

Did not even notice!!!!!

Was getting too excited over the rear end!!!

Hahaha!!!

Nah, he was actually just getting dressed to go home.

Hard to believe these are the same car!

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Hard to believe these are the same car!

Go to post 49 (yes a long long way back) and see the front-end!

 

[Albrecht]

Left and rear wheel arches appear to be completely different shapes/sizes, if using the factory swage line as a datum point:



Optical illusion...?

 

[DonMuscles]

That would just happen to be lighting my dear friend.

 

[DonMuscles]

Like I said before as well they are already flared compared to the OEM arches.
