Not much to say here....... an early Weiand "SAY WHY AND" tunnel ram, two 600 holleys, linkage and wicked cool gold stacks.
Well have been busy doing everything but work on the 63.... I managed to get the 67 buckets seat in and mounted along with building another...
Thanks Novamad. I think I have her all worked out including the headliner. Not sure the casting numbers on an L-79...... I do have a guy I can ask.
Thanks DDDenny. Honestly I didn't realize I hit the jackpot. I paid 300 and thought that was a good fair price. Better head out and get a lotto...

Lower rad mounts finished and installed! I am using a left over body rubber body mount as an insulator. On to finishing off the alternator mount.
