Here it is..........
A few people have asked for pics of my car.......it's a little dusty because I just had unhooked the bush hog from behind it.

Thanks for the kind words guys!
I bought that hood back in the mid - late 80's. It was made by a company located in Maryville Tn. The gauges are mounted where the ash tray used to be. I used a dremel tool to mod the console plate where they would fit in. I have a friend who owns a machine shop and he cut the plate for the gauges out of aluminum and also machined the trim plate for the gas cap. He's a street rod fan so he likes to do stuff like this. I intended to mount the gauges under the hood but they wont fit without some cutting and fiberglass work. I may change to an L88 hood later. After I get the carpet installed and the interior cleaned up I'll take some better pics.

Beautiful car!
Is that one of the 430 ZZ430's made and where did you get the emblem?
I did a 430 clone and might be interested in an emblem if available.
TIA,
Rick
I'd also like to request 2 more pictures, one of the motor and one with the brush hog attached...lol

Thanks, mine is a clone too. Williams & Sons engraving in Utah made the emblems but I don't think they're in business anymore. I couldn't find much on them doing a search. You could probably find an engraving company to make them, they're pretty simple. BTW, I bet I have the fastest moving bush hog in America!
