    Love The FE With The Dual Four Barrels!

    Also, are those marine flame arrestors topping them off?

    Whatever they are, they look good too and really finish off that Monster Mill!

    Adam-

    She's looking great! I have to say though, that with that monster 482 in there, I envision bits of tire flying wherever you go!!

    Congratulations on the progres! It's been fun following along! Looks like the boys have enjoyed the process as well.

    I look forward to watching as you finish her up.

    Regards,

    Steve

    The car should have just under 600 HP, kinda matched parts and cam and may have it chassis dyno'd when done, may not care though depending on how it feels. The boys are a big help, since I retired from military I stay home with them and we seem to do everything together, sports, working out, and garage stuff. We also have a 56 ford truck we are going to fix up some year together.

    This picture is very helpful to me. I want to change my clutch cable and quadrant to a firewall adjustable clutch cable and my Mk1 doesn't have an access panel to the clutch cable quadrant so I am going to cut one out on the firewall. This pic helps a great deal.

    Yes I bought them a while ago thinking I would use them to build an aluminum body someday. Seems time is the problem, may never get around to it. The 56 truck in background is ahead of molds

    What about water temp, elec fan, oil pressure, ignition, etc... There is a lot of wiring, but having said that, there is lots of other stuff you can do while you wait for your harness.

    Gauges are smiths and all mechanical, forgot to list fan and ignition. Anything I shouldn't put in that would hinder wiring instalation

    There are about half dozen or so wandering about the Springs. I don't see them very often, but every now and then.

    I'm using Raptor Bed Liner, but am either going Black or Red since it can be tinted.
    The stuff is a two part polyurethane product and sprays on.

    A lot of folks use Herculiner since it rolls on.
    I've used this stuff before and I think it would be A-Okay too.
