Oh yeah, I'll be keeping it! Just for the record, here are some pics of my previous project:
The car is actually in the final stages of a manual conversion as I type this. There was no way I was going to keep the auto.
It's a '65 fastback featuring a 393W stroker, T56 6-speed and a Detroit locker with 3.80 gears.WOW. That is awesome. If you can do it once, you can do it again! All you got in front of you is time. Finding parts for the notch will be easier than finding them for that one!! What is that like a 67-68?
Okay, I have already made the statement concerning it and the rendering shows that I have always intended to have the heat extractor hood on the car. Why do people keep making that suggestion like it's a new idea?Then a Cobra grill insert is gonna be needed to give it some kind of open grill look to match the original car, and probably the Cobra heat extractor style hood, and of course the Bullitt gas door. Personally i'd probably go with 16'' magnesium Torque Thrusts just to give it a more musclecar look, but i'm sure i'm alone on that idea since everyone wants bigger wheels these days.
These wheels, in 16''

As for the Cobra grill insert, no thanks. No mater how many times I see them on a car, they still look like an afterthough add-on. (No offense to anyone who has this mod, it's just not my thing).
Here is an updated pic of the interior with the new panel and gauges in place:
You're not raining on my parade. I'm sure the idea has popped into a lot of people's minds, but like you said, I've yet to see the idea in a finished project.Hey....just thinking outloud. Also not to burst your bubble but it's not exactly a new idea...why do you think you're getting all the same suggestions over and over? Nobody's made it happen yet so maybe you'll be the first.
We'll see how long that lasts! I figure if I do the car right, clones will begin popping up all over the place within a year. heck, I bet someone saw this post and started theirs already!
Oh, well. A lot of the comment/suggestions in this thread are already in the plans, along with a few others. Here is a list of the major stuff that will be going into the car. I am sure I have forgotten stuff, but you can get the general idea:
-Custom “retro-look” gauge overlays
-Satin silver “Bullitt” accents (i.e. shift knob, door lock plungers, etc.
-TMI Products “Mach 1” black leather seat upholstery w/custom “Bullitt 5.0” stitching
-Round “Bullitt” gas cap door
-Cervini’s “Heat Extractor” hood
-Bullitt brake upgrades including 5-lug swap
-17x9/17x10.5 “Bullitt” wheels
-“BULLITT” emblem on the left rear deck lid.
-Tubular k-member w/ front coil-overs
-Griggs “street performance” rear suspension w/coil overs
