    After last years test run i had a hole list of things to do to the coupe during the winter. Should have been finished 2 months ago but things got in the way. Still some small stuff to finish but i am quit happy for now. Gotta start driving it before winter is back.

    The major change is the motor and gearbox. Last year i had a yunkyard 350 and a 3 speed. Now i have got a built 350 and a 4 speed. I bought a 3 carb setup but they didn´t work for shit so i got 3 new strombergs. Worked great straight out of the box.

    Got a new insert and some paint. The silver looks alot better than the black firewall i had last year.

    The wife thinks the best update is the new interier. All i had last year was a 2 seats. I wanted a bench seat but because of the tunnel it didn´t work out, im to tall. So i went somewhere in between. You can never get to much vinyl flake:D

    Still got to get the piece for the tunnel done.

    Im getting all new carpet for the floor but it´s not quit ready yet. Hopefuly after that i can put alot of troublefree miles on it now. Thanks for looking.

    Very cool car- the interior is killer! Looks like it's put together very well.

    What happened to the roof? It looks a little high.....:D

    Turned out great. The rifle-case shift knob and pedals are pretty slick.

    Thanks everyone. When i first started i was going to chop it but i changed my mind because i liked how it looked. With the extra headroom its great to drive to.
    The steering box is out of a 73 or 74 VW buss/transporter. Its has a cool aluminium case.
