Good Friday

So as my school is wrapping up I don't normally have time to anything but research projects, work, and then just relaxing at home. But here are some image updates. The engine is ready to go, the front end is just done, we're just still doing some patch work on the firewall and what not, and the passenger wheel well cover and quarter is half way repaired! We had to use the wheel well covers off a 70s caddy and then we welded the bottom original 59 covers to half of the 70s covers....strange but it works and looks great, not stock, but close.


Here's the rear quarter, once it's all bondo'd and sanded it's going to look great!

Here's the 500 (actually a 502) engine all painted up! Black, Red, and matte aluminum. The round air cover on the top is red too. It's pretty dusty but man, when it's clean...it's a sharp looking motor. It's also huge by the way...

Front end, all new lines and redone brakes. We had to customize the frame for the new engine. Can you tell?

Oh and here's a picture of the drivers side so you can see how rough it was! You can see the piece we're putting in on the floor. It matches the contours pretty well.
