Car is in the shop for the winter now, tearing into it again.
Pulled the front end off to do a bunch of stuff. Tilt front, tunnel ram, fenderwell headers, etc. Might even get to the straight axle this winter, not sure.
Waiting on parts so started bolting the front back together for the tilt. Originally wanted fibreglass but using the old steel parts now just because I've already got them and they aren't in great shape anyway.
For shits I stacked up the parts to get a preview of what it looks like. Needs a little cowl mod to get the scoop to fit, but might try carb spacers first to get the height and clearance I need before I start cutting more sheetmetal.
I may or may not have the kit spacer on the right carb here, I was drinking some whisky while assembling. Needs to be a little bit higher if I want to avoid cutting the cowl for clearance. Here you can see where the cowl interferes with the scoop seating properly.
I may try a couple of taller carb spacers before I cut the cowl out. 2" should do it. Pretty cheap test vs hacking out the body. Not sure if it will help or hurt the performance of it but worth a shot. All for that damn gasser scoop. This nostalgia thing is a real pain in the ass!
Waiting on a set of mid mounts for the motor, and a set of Hooker fenderwell headers. The wife is going to kill me!
