Bit of cheap 7mm adhesive chrome strip off eBay finishes off the head rest nicely.

Today’s job, adjustable front suspension limiters and Hotchkis steering arms. Being able to adjust front suspension travel is one way of controlling wheel stands, plus it stops the rod ends on the steering arms from running out of travel.

Not seen stuff like this rust but then the car never really sees bad weather, I will fit some boots though to keep dirt out.

No I’m done with big blocks, I really like stroker small blocks. I have new heads and intake to fit which should add a bit more HP.
