    Thanks Its coming along found a rad mercury steering wheel for it, and some fun gauges, unchanneling it has made inside much more comfortable to drive.

    Full hoods are always a good thing on a Model 40. Looking good!

    saw that at Paso. thought it was pretty ****ty looking, glad to see you are fixing it up. slowly but surely ****ty cars are becoming less fashionable and the posers that go with them are on to other things.

    Not that it matters because it is your car but I like the new look and direction that this coupe is taking on.

    Looks alot like JustplainJ's. The chop,the stance,and the full hood. I love it!!!!
     
  28. At first blush I would loose the bird shooters and the lakes headers.
    I would probably go for a decent set of plug wires and either run them under the headers or whatever you change the lakes headers to or a decent set of wire looms.

    Next I would loose the ****py clear fuel lines before they burn you down.

    Maybe a decent paint job if that is an issue to you. I would definately not call it the mercury kid unless its a merc I don't think that's a merc motor is it?

    I don't know what it looks like inside.

    But its a pretty need rod from what I can see of it at least its got good bones.
     
  29. D-A-YUM Lars!!

    Perfect!
    PERFECT!!!
    Now that was the winning hit of the World Series!!

    I think I hate you now..............................;):p
    Seriously don't think there is much more that you can do to that car to make it better.

    Doc.
