    Just another old 283/th-350 with an 8" rear. This car is being built to cover a lot of ground. Reliability is the key.

  12. You're on.
    Let you know when we get closer.

    Funny story about the whole silver thing, for the longest time I thought The 'Fly was bare metal. Then one year at the 'Drags you and I were talking in the staging lanes, or near them and I looked over and thought D#@~ its got paint.

    Here is some of my roof insert pics. This is the way poor white folk do it.
    Thanks to Jake over on the interior social board for helping with dumb questions. This is not the best in the world, but way below average.

    Looks good and it's always rewarding to know you did it yourself!

    And Root....I was taught....The only dumb question is the one you don't ask.
