Ultra-coolness! What are the wheels from? AMT '62 T-bird or Moebius Chrysler 300? Great stance too. I've got JoHan "60 and '61 Chryslers - may have to copy your chop technique on one of them! Yes, Thunderbird wheels in a separate rim.

Worked on my grille today. 19 strips of sheet plastic in 2 thicknesses stacked on top of each other and sanded to shape. Needs to be cleaned up a bit more and painted.

Ultra cool, glad you resisted to not put cabinet door pull knobs on it.

Thanks guys! The grille is finished and I'm working on the under hood area and interior. The long ram intake manifolds were in a junk box I bought at a show for $5. and the valley cover is foil cast from one in another junk box. I'm smoothing out the inner fenders and will I try to match the fade on the body. The interior is almost ready for some paint. I see a couple spots that need a touch more filler.

Love that long-ram intake!! Any thoughts for the air cleaners? Velocity stacks?

Love the intake setup. I keep hoping to stumble across a set of those somewhere. So, custom looking, even though they were a stock part

The grill looks awesome and your hood fit is sheer perfection! I love that you're using the cross-ram setup, too! I didn't see it in your mockup shots so I want to make sure you don't miss the equalizer tube, another critical part of the ram induction system, shown in copper on this JoHan engine in my stash. I'm not enough of a mechanic to tell you what function it serves, unfortunately! Here's one in my '60 Dodge build...
