Default Almost there..

Just a few tweaks this week and we're on the road.. Should be running @ the Stock Suspension race this weekend..
Here's a quick shot after giving it a bath this afternoon, still need to tidy things up a bit, but you get the idea...

Thanks, lot of people have been trying to convert me to put a newer face on it, but I like the look as well. It should all look better in the near future.. (painted hood and cowl..).

Care to divulge further info on the motor?

I also like the pre-87 interior a tad better than the late model foxes. The 87+ does look nice, I just prefer the simplicity of the older dashes and door panels.
