That is freakin awesome! The cowl hood is a tad tall, but other than that very cool! Nice color choice.

What are some more specs on it, trans, gears, etc?

Been cruisin my Fastback around on the weekends. Fun to drive it. Yesterday though i went to Starbucks with it and it wouldn't start Found a fuel leak so fixed that and it started right up. Been missing around 2200 to 2400rpms lately so we bumped the timing from 17 to 20 and it didn't like that so we bumped it down to 18 and it seems to really like that. Here's some pics and a video.

I got a bunch of other videos on my youtube account if you wanna check them out.

This is beautiful. I really like the Radio bezel too. Any write up on how you did it or close up pictures?

I can take some close up pics for you. I just cut the bezel in half keeping some material to put some screws into it and then grinded it down until it fit with my brushed aluminum piece. It was a pain to do.

I'd love to see those pics. It looks great. I've been wanting to do a double din radio too, but never see a bezel that will support it. So I will have to make my own.
