Took the car on a nice long road trip this past weekend and it did great. Here are a couple pics from the Run to the Pines car show in Pinetop Arizona.

I finally got a nice hood for the car. Just sprayed it today. So happy with the way it looks now.

Just recieved my Glasstek 2" hood this week, couldn't believe the good fit. Looks like you have the 4" Congrats looks good. I have a couple questions, did you use the stock fender bumpers, the 2 on each side? Also how was the gap at the rear at the cowl vent?

Thanks! Yes this is the 4" Glasstek. The fit is excellent. Right now I have no side fender bumpers on the car.

You don't happen to work for a transmission shop do you? Someone at least claiming to be a shop is using your picture in their listing. I actually found this thread by doing a google image search.

They do short listings with super low prices and pimp a website that does not exist, pretty sure it's a scam but thought I'd check.

Wow! No I do not. Thanks for the heads up Chuck. That certainly does look like a scam.

Finally got around to getting a picture of my cold air intake. Also swapped out my manual brakes for a power setup. Loving it.

Man your car looks great! I'm doing a similar swap in a 64 more door. What bracket did you use for your clutch master cylinder?

Thank you!!!! I was looking at the speedtech bracket since it had the adjustable rod for the pedal.

What'd you do for the pedal to master connection?
