I think there were just two versions of the headlights for the slant nose. I am talking about the aftermarket slant nose and both of them use the RX motors in the headlight. Some designs had the round headlights and somehow the rectangular ones. I also prefer the round ones but you have to have the correct matching fenders for them because I believe they were slightly different.

progress
A little progress. Motor and Tranny are together.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1671125558.JPG

Not gonna lie, jealous! Was hoping to have my engine/tranny in time for the holidays to focus on the build... but the life and wife decided otherwise. Looking good!
|
I moved ahead with the motor since it is just sitting. Hoping the car comes back with the body done one of these days...
|
I need to swap from an SBC to an LS1.
Looking great. |
Ryan, do you already have an EFI on the SBC?
|
I don't - It's carbureted.
|
That might be a good and easy change instead of a complete swap..

Not something I'm going to undertake now, but once I get another fun toy in the stable I'm thinking of dismantling and rebuilding my 1972 to a higher level of finish. |
Interior paint and roof done
have to redo
|

|
Awesome! That's great news to see a big hurdle has been crossed! Please be sure to keep us updated on the progress! What a great start to the new year!
|
Congrats.

Looking incredible. Like social media, browsing these threads make me see the flaws in my cars. Haha!
|
I saw Rick posting updates on this car so it's cool to know where the build thread lives!!
This thing is rad!! Can't wait to see it come together! |
It’s been a while. I have been working on the car for a couple months after getting it back about a year ago. The wiring on this car was fire damaged so I had to remove quite a bit and it’s starting to look like it’s coming together. My buddy Charlie has been helping me with the roof. I got a sunroof-delete roof from someone in the Hudson Valley and getting ready to put it on. After that, we are going to adjust the right quarter panel by moving it forward 1/2 an inch and probably have to cut some new panels but it is fixable. Hoping the brand new turbo rockers from Pelican line up and that the rear quarters will align with some tweaking to the rear quarter extensions. My LS7 427/570 awaits…
