A few more progress shots...

The engine so far...

Engine bay with some jute insulation to help with the tarboard...
Image

Tarboard installed...
Image

Couple of bumper shots. The rear is the only one on now. It is an OG period correct rear bumper cleaned up with 0000 steel wool and used silver paint on the back side. Results were better than I thought it would be.

Image

Sunroof shot...
Image

More to come...

It will be stock appearing on the outside. Inside I will have 87mm P/C's (which came with the project) and a E100 cam. That's it. And compression will be set around 7.1 to 7.2 to 1 (static). This is gonna be a cruiser...
