kind of piddley, work, but I got the drums painted. I mixed my own colors using IH red and Case power red going by other pics on the computer, I think its pretty close. dont mind the incorrect lug nuts, haven't gotten them yet.

goals for this next week:
-mount drivers door
-install gull wing
-restore/ polish trim
-install rear bumper and valance

Cool build!
Can't wait to see you out there hammering on that bad boy. Looks like Jeff has his work cut out for him to get that puppy in the 11's. She looks portly. lol

the dash is one I picked up at a swap meet and put my original speedometer in. I had it restored at auto instruments. I wasn't very happy with their customer service at all.. work was ok. the emblem and heater control was done at instrument specialties and the pad is from superior dash pads. the dash pad fits ok, not great. the gap between the speaker tray and the pad is pretty wide, I can post a picture tonight.

master cylinder all done. I found the correct studs and plated them. also, I black phosphate coated the cover. all I have to do is bleed it out. and bolt it on. that all I really have for now.

thanks! Jeff is pretty much wrapping up my motor. hes going to be doing the break in for me sometime hopefully in the next week. tenativly get it shipped up to me maybe next week sometime. then I can start detailing the crap out of that too.. I think Ive spent hundreds of hours trying to gather details on a 71 340 motor. not an easy task. lol
