I like it! Would love to see a full frontal and a full side photo too.

Is the hood scoop the Boss or the Cougar type? Did you make it functional?

All that effort, and ONE picture? Didn't you finish the other side? Or the engine?

Thank you for the kind words.

Car is up north in Pa. and my ability to get pictures is limited by what my father sends me. Car was on its way to the alignment shop that day. I have more pictures but keep in mind they were taken earlier in the restoration. The hood scoop was installed because we couldnt get the engine to fit under the hood without it. The scoop is functional but is not "ducted" like a ram air scoop, its just open. The scoop was supposedly from a 79 Mustang and just lying around the shop so we tried it. I think it looks pretty good.

The wheels are 16X7 in Front and 16X8 Rear. The Tires are BF Goodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S. I went with 16's since that was the smallest diameter wheel that would fit given the rotor size on my brake kit. I wanted 15's but the 16's seem to look good. I don't like the look of too much wheel. Unfortunately, I'm getting slight rubbing on the rear tires so need to work on that. Trying stiffer springs since the ones in the car seem too soft.
