That sounds REAL good! Great throttle response and some nice pop from compression. And good buddues to laugh with/at you when it stalls... LOL!!

Thanks! Yes the throttle response is a bit aggressive, I love it exactly that’s what’s it’s all about!

A little side project for the engine. Got a buddy in the states that went to some salvage yards to find these original serpentine pulleys. Now I can convert the early v belt system to an early serpentine system with a few touches to it if my own, so cool. Will look a little like the last picture

I haven’t got the pulleys yet, he will ship them soon to Denmark to me. But yes it’s definitely a nice find, they are hard to find except if you are buying a complete engine

Small steps in the right direction again! Got the driver door lines worked out with some welding rod and grinding, I think I got it pretty close to perfect, looks so good and what an update to the body! At the same time I remade a fail that was made from the assembling line. The rear quarter where it meets the quarter window, in that corner it wasn’t made correct, I know it’s a problem on many, my dads got the same issue. Well I made it look good, a small job but a big change!

Have done some good progress last week. Installed the Ring Brothers hood pins by using the original brackets for the hood look, I just modified them so it worked perfect together, now I don’t have to use the original hood locking system anymore and then I have the opportunity to make a different grille for the car. In the same time I also connected the inside and outside of the hood by using a pipe and welded that in the hood both to make a nice finish but also to put more strength into the hood where the hood pins are resting on the hood so it won’t flex when the car is driving.

I also got started on a custom shock tower brace and a custom Monte Carlo bar, took me a couple of days to make it right and look right, but so far I think it ended up very cool! I’m not done with it yet, still needs to be welded and detailed. Will add a few more things to it before it is how I want it. I’m sure it will ad some strength beside the original system

A few pictures more of the process. The plan is to get everything done now to make it ready to take engine and trans out again so I can get it all painted and the same for the engine bay!!

You are definitely a talented fabricator. It will be nice to see this car when it’s done. Love the sound of it.

Thanks a lot, that makes me happy to get compliments like that I can’t wait either, I’m trying my best to move forward yeah she’s a bit angry, and thanks! Can’t wait to complete the exhaust

Completed the shock tower braces and Monte Carlo bar for now, will maybe add a couple of details later, but for now I’m pretty happy with the result
