Well I think we can stick a fork in this project fellas........It's done (for now anyway). After a timing adjustment in the morning, I'm going to take it out for a road test tomorrow. It might need some fine tuning and jetting later, but I think I'll not start screwing with it before Billetproof if the road test goes well. I don't want to lose my base line and not have time to get it back. It's running pretty darn good as it is. I ran the car for quite a while today and it does NOT overheat, so I'm good there.
I snapped a few last photos with everything hooked up and then put the hood on. I really hated to cover up the engine but I like the lines of the car better with a hood. Also note in the photos that you can see my quick and dirty makeshift temporary exhaust. There are baffles in them but they are still plenty loud. I tried the look of different slash cuts on the ends of the pipes, but in the end the car told me that it looks more like it means business with the ends cut straight. Eventually, these will run under the car and won't be seen at all, but I don't think these look too terrible. I guess you guys are probably sick of looking At the same thing over and over but this should be about the end of it. I'll take a couple of pictures of it outside tomorrow and that will be it. Last ones with the hood off............................. ![]() ![]() Hood on and buttoned up. It's done folks. Test run tomorrow. ![]() ![]()

Some sort of wizardry at work here Bill, i am beginning to like how the fiberglass body counterpoints the exquisite metalwork. It is messing with my head

Great work, Bill. I'm another one that never gets tired of looking at great craftsmanship. You know your really feeling the project when it tells you what it wants. The hood being on will cause that hemi to call for more attention. Enjoy Billetproof !!!
