    Wow looks great! I like the shiny photoshop but I think a little race car like this should be a little ruff around the edges.

    Am I right in thinking you are and have used those cheaper alloy radiators on eBay that ship from China?
    I was thinking of using one they look a real bargain. ?

    Yep. I've used $180 eBay radiators in 3 builds now without a issue.

    [​IMG][​IMG]Tommy hooked me up with this great old gas tank . I had to shorten the mount and it will work out perfectly.

    Love all the "right stuff" going into the build. I know how important all the little things are- Ray and I share a love of "do-dads" and "thing-a-ma-jigs". The stuff you find in the BOTTOM of the box at the Swap Meets.
    You're killin' it Pardner!! ( Hats off to Tommy too!!)

    As for details, I may be speaking out of turn Ray, but... can you replace the key lock mechanism on the gas door? Not to make more work for ya but it conflicts with your awesome build's race and early tone.
    The car is still absolutely amazing if you didn't already know.
    Oh Tommy rules.

    I'm going to weld the gas door shut and fill the lock hole . It's on my very long list of things to get done before June. Appreciate very much you kind words and criticism is always welcome and considered.
