Its In
Well, i got it in today 
Not the cleanest garage for sure, but the luggage rack on the car is getting good use
Side view, all the grease will come off with the 5 layers of paint under it.
Vroom
I started the infamous rattle can mod, but i talked to the guy painting my car and hes going to finish it off.
Well hope you like it

Looking good. I would be chomping at the bit to get that on the road. How much longer till you get to fire it up?

That looks so SWEEEEEEEEET, the more I see cars like yours the more I want to mod my 79 instead of finding a completely original bumper car! I know, I know, the stock bumper car is "worth" more but that big block poking through the hood looks way too good. I am sure you will be grinning from ear to ear every time you get a thumbs up from someone

Lets see, so first you had the engine installed in your garage, and then you built the car around it?? 
(That's what it looks like!!) With a beautiful engine like that i hope you make the outside look as nice!

Back to the sixites with EFI.
Only 502 inches? Well i see that A/C compressor is really gonn'a suck up some ponies and slow u way down man.
