Cheers.
People are either going to understand the reasons or hate it! I'm okay with either. But it handles, stops, and the motor is a cheap 300hp which makes it a little more fun than the very sick 6 (more like 4 and a half!) that got pulled out of it. Really looking forward to driving it.

I like it; and it's white

Welcome from Edmonton, cool car

Thanks for the welcome.
Will get some new pics shortly. Waiting for the car to come back from the certifiers. In NZ we have a group called the Low Volume Vehicle Technical Association (LVVTA) who operate a certification system for heavily modified or scratch built (inc hot rods) cars. This certification means we can run cars outside of the normal regs but they have to be of a high standard.

In the meantime, here's a couple more random shots. Front shot and the motor setup although this engine didn't behave, so ended up swapping another in. But it looks the same anyway...

Cheers.

Welcome from winnipeg

Thanks a lot.
There's been a few headaches, that's for sure! All will be forgotten soon I hope as the miles go on the clock.

And there's still a good list of course. Body is real solid but is about 3 shades of white! Have skirts, thinking about a visor. Considering airbags. Although the height currently is sitting on stock Jag springs, so potential to drop another inch or two with lower ones at the front. And floor would need some 'massaging' to drop the back either way.

Welcome to the club from Coquitlam BC. Nice looking car and the engine looks real clean and crisp great colour.

A beauty, Welcome to the site, keep us posted on how she's doing.
Haven't been to N/Z since the millenium, but was amazed at the R/H drive North American muscle running about,
And at Champion Raceway the stuff like pro mod jags with blown BIG BIG block Chevs..
A second..Cheers..

Thanks for the welcomes.

Yep, heaps of muscle cars, hot rods and street machines in NZ, per capita anyway. We have an interesting mix as there's a real classic american car following, but we had a lot of British and Australian (GM Holden and Ford) stuff sold new, as well as things like AMC Ramblers assembled here.

The Beach Hop is coming up in a couple of weeks and that is massive, pre 75 cars and pretty much takes over a whole town and then some.

And supposed to have our drag racing nationals this weekend but the remains of a tropical cyclone are making their way down the country. Hmm.

          If you ask me about lowering it down (and you haven't asked)    its too tall to slam down   looks perfect now...please leave it  

We'll see how we go. It may settle a little more anyway.
Headers were a pain. Think these are 70s camaro or something. Set number 4 or 5 that we tried. Block huggers outlet dumped straight on top of steering rack.

Great picture......great looking car.

Congratulations on gettin' er up and going.
