thanks steveo, I was hoping someone had an old pic of the old girl!
many thanks for sticking that up, doesn't look half bad in yellow with the arse on the ground where it should be! As it was, I knew it meant work when I bought it, it was in good nick (same paint scheme as in the pic) but some things had to go, if you know what I mean - top of the list being the huge Mickey T's on the back. It drove dreadfully until I was rid of the 9" jackup at the back. Only just sold those Cragar wheels.
The 383 went next, the NOS was never wired up and I miss the whine of the Pete Jackson gear drive but the torque of the 440 more than makes up for all that. I've still got the chrome scoop, and RT has the tunnel ram on his '34.
In a way I'm happy that it's a well-known car, hopefully y'all will like what I've done to it when it's finished
cheers again steveo, it's nice to benefit from another member's longer time on the scene.

Popped out the other weekend during a 5-minute break in the rain ice and snow. Went to Nelsons American Diner near Basingstoke, small but recommended
This one should at last show where I'm going with this. I'm hoping to break-in the engine before Wheels Day and probably will enjoy a long-awaited summer with it before going any further. (that's an excuse, I'm skint really!)
Try and ignore the damaged grille

Careful with the tints, i think the absolute max your able to go is 25% on driver/passenger side windows.
Rear qtr lights and rear screen you can go as dark as you like pretty much.
Cars looking great! so much better looking than when you first brought it to the sun inn with the shoe box hood scoop and its arse on stilts!!!
Be great to see it at the 1st sun inn meet
well done chuck
