Looking good. Similar colour to mine and I like those wheels. Looking forward to seeing it all together. I didn't go nearly that crazy with my transmission. It was enough for me just to get the 1/2 inch of grime off it. :wink:

Your car looks positively sinister with its highly polished black hood looking down on those wide tires. 8) :)

Pistons are on the way from New Zealand :driver and the wood steering wheel I picked up from PreVtec should be showing up at my door tomorrow. It's going to feel like Christmas for the next few weeks.

Some goodies showed up today :D The steering wheel I picked up off of PreVetc and his car R.I.P. Also a Grill I won on line auctions. I did however find out that the grill was miss labeled. It was advertised as a 75', turns out it is for a 77' cvcc I believe. soo it will most likely get a little clean up and be listed here for sale. I have already started to work on the steering wheel.
