Now all you need is Blues Brothers suits, hat and shades! Go cruisin.... and pick up Elwood.

You did a fabulous job on the cleanup. Glad to hear your vacuum problems are gone.

Yea its original paint. Although when you walk up close you can see a hair scratches.. black is not the color to have.. But im happy with it! And a big garage helps concidering how big this car is. Takes abour 2 hours to wax the thing..

Blues brothers here I come!!!!!

I like. One thing to do- go in Fusick's catalog www.fusick.com and get you some correct molded radiator hoses and a hood insulation pad, and that engine bay will really stand tall. I can't stand ribbed flex hoses...

Wish you were closer. I'd turn you loose on mine. Would swirl remover work out those scratches? Knew a lot of folks who used Liquid Ebony on black show cars, but I haven't seen the stuff in years.

Summit makes it. Summit 750cfm mechanical seconarys, double pumper. Its exactly like as Holley. Just 75 bucks cheeper.


I never tried any of that swirl removal wax. I need to try it though.

Thanks for the link!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that I need a fit rad. hose and a replacement hood insulation padding. Gotta remember that about 4 months ago this car was sitting in a garage and wasn't started for about 10 years and not on the road in over 20 years.......Ive worked my butt of on this car and am so happy that it looks like this today and runs like a raped ape for weighing 2 tons.
