Im having trouble posting more pics and should probably walk away before a hammer sounds like a good option. I'll see what can be done to correct the issue and try again later.

Did a little work on interior to get it looking presentable, grey pepper carpet throughout, and some leatherette and tweed with some red stitch covered all the pieces as well as the home built console and armrest console gave me the look i'd hoped for. Nachos in Long Beach does good work and was happy to help. Now its off to paint

Very nice...I like your style. One word of caution...mounting your fuel pump up front makes it susceptible to vapor lock. I did the same with my first build years ago and ultimately had to relocate it to under the gas tank. My current build has it mounted under the cowl in front of the passenger foot well. Good luck!

My problematic Set-up

after a bit of work the car looks spectacular and the painter was happy that there wasn't any rust repair or body work(dents) that needed to be repaired. Paint and body was all provided by a friend in Huntington Beach Lance "Bones" Rowlett. Car is currently being driven and is a blast to drive. there are some finishing touches required a little overspray here and there, gauge cluster lighting needs to be looked at as the headlight switch needed to be replaced and I may have connected something wrong or blown a fuse. Next major acquisition would be a gearbox with taller gears as this thing gets up and boogies but runs out of gear on the frwy.
Thanks for all the kind comments, hope to see you all at the gatherings and on the frwys.

Fantastic build. Paint is really amazing. Dr Evil can take care of your trans needs if you don't have anyone in mind already.

Enjoy it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That looks so nice I think you should drive it around town w/o rear lids! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

We got the opportunity to see this beauty at Bruce Stones swap meet on Sunday. The craftmanship is outstanding. Looks like Vinnie set a 914 body on a Pantera chassis....

Awesome looking car.

That's a kickass power unit.

What kind of brakes do you have for it? Couldn't tell from the pics.

All the stitch and interior was done in stages as the project progressed and components were built but what I will say is I couldn't have had the work done anywhere else for less.

I might suggest you add a thermal protector on the bottom of your rear trunk lid. Those mufflers could hear up your new paint unfavorably.

Great looking project!
