Thanks Guys.

Well, it is a running driving car. 99.9% done. STILL, no new wheel and need the right steering wheel. My pal got involved in the some other projects. Oh yes, looking for an original Fly Eye breather.

I will try to get some pictures up. Thanks for asking and the nice comments.

Crafty - Thanks for bringing this back up to the top. I have bought a few parts from AJ but never knew about this car! Answered some questions I had about the Baldwin Motion cars and their origin. Sure would like to know the rest of the story!

No problem. I'm building a clone myself, so any time I get to see a real one is very helpful (plus I love the look!). I already have my hood, fly eye air cleaner, reverse gills, hone o drive and gas cap. Just trying to get everything together before driving season here.

Thanks John for the update!

While for the price you paid wes i think it should have been drilled and tapped the ecklers version is not exactly the same look at the back edge of the 67 427 scoop part its cut off on ecklers version.

I used to see the so called phase hood all tge time on cl as many as the twin turbo now i seldom see c3 hoods much at all....on ebay is a sweet hood i would love to own a raised stock 68_72 bb hood but its in poor ratty condition and the sellers think its gold...
