Almost down with redoing it. The motor is a 406sbc with a 2 stage plate. My dad and I have done everything on it from notching the frame to installing the tubs. It's 100% street legal.

Interior: leather bucket seats, black Custom door panels with 4.5 inch speakers, grant pro stock steering wheel, automated gauges, and a hurst shifter, 8.50 legal cage

Exterior Add ons: 4 inch feather carbon fiber glass hood, pro stock rear spoiler ( at powder coater), m/t wheels ( 15-3.5/ 15-10), custom
Parachute bracket, aerospace front brakes.

Just a little info.

Should be done in a week
Or two just waiting on parts.

The hood is 200.00 plus freight. Payed 330.00 to get it to me. They only make them in pin on but I'm sure if u have fiberglassing skills you could make it bolt on.

Got the wing back and mounted today

Looking good!!!!!!
I see you are using a master cylinder like what i have waiting to be put on(dodge), what size brass fittings did you use to connect it to the lines? on mine the front port is larger than the back one and i can't find a fitting for it.
