Very nice -- that's going to be a *very* quick car once you're done. :thumbsup:
 
Yes...3.9 litre Rover. It's been bored and stroked (and is now cross-bolted as well.)

BW T5 transmission and an 8" Ford differential w/Auburn posi.

FastCars front suspension and Classic Conversions four-link rear suspension.

Yes, it is. The MSD 6AL box will be going high on the driver's side kick panel.

My a/c unit from Nostalgic Air arrived last week as well.
 
Rick, what's up with the colour? under hood and body both look freshly painted but not the same colours?

Good chance that you are further along on yours than I am on mine....and mine WILL be in Tennessee in May!

It may not have a complete interior....but I WILL be driving it!

Think positive, Mickey!
