    Looks great. I really like the proportions. What headlights are you running?

    Thanks for the compliments. I don't know if I'm keeping the scoop but the bigggest thing I'm struggling with is the color. Primer? Shiney? Flat? Metal Flake? I'ts driving me crazy.

    Looks great, you should be proud! Color choice is always a tough one for me too. I usually don't know for sure til after I leave the paint store:p

    Great looking RPU! How about some details -- 302/T-5? Are those tires Coker radials? What sizes?

    Looking top shelf! No shock value/cartoon here. Nice, nice taste!!
     
  15. Great lookin RPU, but that scoop has to go, doesn't work. I had one on my Model A when I boufgt it and it was the first change I made. The rest is very cool.

    Awesome job, it looks great. :cool:
    Drive the hell out of it, have fun and let it grow on you...a color will come to you when you're ready.
    I have to agree on the scoop though, I think it breaks up the whole piece.

    I'm deffinetly getting the feeling nobody likes the scoop. I'll have to try something else maybe dual two barrels.

    it's a 302 ford with a T-5, the valve cover spacers are to clear baffles I made for breathers and PVC, the generator is there because I think generators look cool, lake headers are home made out of speedway kit, and those are coker radials on four inch front and six inch rear 550x16 front 750x16 rear.

    Very Sanitary, I like. Generators are cool when you have the room. Gotta get me one of those bumpers, did you DIY?
