  1. Just thought I'd post a few update pics of the car, finished all the interior and dash setup, finished the metal work where the turtle back meets the body, hopefully dropping the motor in next week.....

    I like the curves. It certainly has more trunk space.

    Definitely cool!

    Two questions: how's the reach to the steering wheel, it looks long in the picture, and would you please post a better pic of the frontend, I'm curious how it looks. Thanks:D
     
  15. The steering wheel reach is good. The T body was stretched and widened a few inches but i dont have the backrests of the seats back yet from the interior guy so that will push it up a little more. With the camaro rear seat im sitting right on the floor not up like a normal tbucket, the diameter of the wheel is more of an issue than the distance im gonna have to run a 13in or smaller. Heres the best front pic i have so far, I dont have a radiator or grill shell setup yet so i havent taken too many from the front...

    Needs a track nose
     
  19. Ya I'd like to put a track nose or something different on the front instead of a 29 or 32 shell...but the entire car is steel, a neat steel grill shell isn't easy to come by and I'd hate to stick a fibergl*** piece on an all steel car. So it'll probable have to run the normal until I come across something better:rolleyes:
