    Talking Yeah, T-65 Coupe Completed

    Well for entertainment I figured I would post a few pictures of my coupe that I recently completed. Okay, it is 99% complete and I will be working on the 1% the rest of the winter But it is ready to be driven ASAP. I started it last year in the summer; so with some time off for a few international trips it took roughly a year to complete. It has a fuel injected 425 HP 347 with a TKO-500 trans. Painted base/clear in the garage which I think came out pretty good. I just need to buff it one more time. I decided not to mount the scoops and spoiler, as I was going for a cleaner look with less drag. The side pipes I had chromed at Ogden Chrome in Utah; they are a work of art. Anyway, hope you enjoy the pictures. At some point I will take a few glamour shots.
    Cheers,
    Rob

    Very nice and you are correct...the side pipes look great...so does the rest of the car. I see you still have the side windows to do...me too...not looking forward to that chore.

    "clean" is the correct word - very excellent job! Now I am considering the same color as yours. My original plan has been white body, gray or red stripes - but now need to consider the reverse...

    Thank you. As far as windows go, I am not putting them on....the next guy can do that Plus it rarely rains in southern Idaho, so who needs them anyway.

    Oh yeah, the base color was Limco Supreme, Dark Metallic Charcoal. I splurged for the Glamour clear.....about$200 per gallon. I do not remember off hand the color of the stripes.
