Lookin' good, Kurt! I like that Produce Exchange store. We don't get weatherboard buildings like that here, really.

Don't be shy about posting a few more photos!

I like your paint. The guards red tends to lose its luster after so many years, your car and Mark Wilson's are the only two I've seen posted that don't seem to be "oranging".

It's a GT racing tail. I would not recommend it to anyone. Took way too much work to get it to fit.

Kurt, your car looks great! but then it is Guards red are those Fuchs 6/f 8/R? I have guards red Fuchs on my car now, but the polished looks so much better. I am going to instal a early tubo tail this week, and see how I like it. I do have a Duck ready for paint just in case I change my mind.

At the local high school - "That's what I like about these high school girls, I get older, they stay the same age!" Name the movie, win a prize. Ok, no prize, glad to see you back on the road Kurt, that's a great looking car, I bet it feels good to go for a drive.

Nope, they are 6's and 7's. I have wheel spacers to move the rear tires out, but have not put them on.

Great looking car Kurt, I really like the look of loseing the rear bumper pads. Makes me wanna do mine that way.

How hard was back dating the heat? Mines got an '84 in her.

Not that hard, but not cheap either. Along with the SSI's, you will need the two early oil lines, (the hard line and the oil line to the oil cooler) you will also need the pre-74 engine tin and the fan shroud tin. I bought my engine and shroud tin used and just sanded and painted it.
