Getting really close now - in the home stretch!
-Ray |
We are on the home stretch … John sent some more photos (thanks John!) … and the car looks absolutely great! The grille is in and to me it makes the car, not a typical combination, but I really like it! The guys at ERA have built another beauty!
This is exactly what I was after … a clean 289 front end with quick jacks & grille! http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...t/DSCN3347.jpg Front end, steering rack and suspension http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...t/DSCN3348.jpg This is a very unique shot … from the motor mounts back, ready for motor and transmission ... don't get a view like this too often http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...t/DSCN3349.jpg Left rear suspension http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...t/DSCN3351.jpg Right rear suspension http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...t/DSCN3352.jpg Can't wait to see this baby outside and down on the ground http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...t/DSCN3346.jpg |
Looks beautiful.

Wow, Tim..Looks great! I love the look of the grill without the oil cooler scoop, a la street car.
Is that a 235/295 Firestone combination you will be running? Any engine build progress you can share (Pics??)? - Allen. |
Very classic! Looks great!
|
Nicely done Tim. In the first picture, I was thinking "wow, you can make a lot of ice cubes with that grille!!!!" :D :D :D
ON the heater inlet/outlet at the firewall, are they going to supply grommets??? |
Love the grille!!!!!!!!!!!! Think I need to get one for mine.

Thanks Allen ... The grille is pretty neat. You are correct, those are the Firestone 235 / 295 setup, Dangerous Doug has the same tires on 2108 and likes them. Not as high performance as the AVON tires, but a good set to start with. Motor pics are coming soon, Tom at FE Specialties has the motor together and has run it in on the test stand. Once the Primary pipes are available from ERA, we will put the motor on the dyno and see what power we get from the 302 ;) |

Herman ... You are right, will need to count the squares, to see how many cubes it will make :LOL: Good point on the heater pipes, need to check with Peter on that one. |

Rick ... I believe it goes in with just a few screws, so you should be able to take it in and out without too much work, depending on the 'look' you want for your car. :) |
