Wow, five months hibernating over winter and it just now sprouted wings.
Time for some more pictures of Number 8.

Been awhile since an update on this car. We have been doing lots of finishing touches on the paint and interior painted parts plus reassembling interior things like the windows but only as filler in between other restorations that have a more pressing timeline.
Will get some new pictures over the next week or two when the interior is done and installed and when the new Phoenix Graphics B Scheme decals are put on the car. The engine and tranny are done as are the rear suspension, brake and fuel lines but have not intalled the new front end parts yet like ball joints or tie rod ends and still need to correctly refinish the front fender to body seals. The exterior paint has been wet sanded, cut and buffing is nearly completed. Upholstery is all redone and the engine is built with modified TRW forged flat tops for a stock 16cc dish including the remainder of the original flat top valve reliefs to retain a "flat top" style quench. The rotating assembly is fully balanced and the heads are port matched. Will most likely be using a NOS Crane "306" cam which will give it that great old school sound and lots extra power up to 6500 RMP. Intake will most likely be an R4B or AirGap and the carb will be a new Holley 750 DP. For street engines, I mostly use the easy and straight forward Mallory Unilite self contained dizzy and will probably do the same with this car. Will also probably do set of headers over log manifolds if the square port headers are still available (haven't bought a set in nearly two years so not sure on that one). Still need to finish off the underside paint to be the way I like it with body color paint up to the bottom of the frame rails with chassis black in between the rails on the center tunnel. Should be a really nice car when done over the next couple of months. Edited by amx39068 - Feb/26/2012 at 8:43pm |
