Like the pinin badge on the pass side. Lends that little bit of balance that the one piece dashes seem to miss sometimes.

Looks like a different color in the car than in your first post. Is that just the light?

Very nice job.

I dig the dash. If you decided you ever want to make another, you know where to find me, and my wallet. :D

Engine bay looks great! Where did you get the radiator and fan? Did they come as a kit?
Did you have to modify anything to get it to fit? I like your braided hoses. Where did you get them?

Very nicely done. I really like the race look of the dash. I was never a fan of the wood it always seemed to be more of a Sunday driver look. Did you rig up a glove box somewhere?

Is that the 34adf carb? What did you do with the crankcase breather?
