I know you guys like some photo's so I've blown the dust off a bit this afternoon and got a couple of shots. Not sure if I've resized correctly though. I can build anything but can't operate a keyboard!!! :headbanger: :-[

Wow! She looks great. The new intake and headers should up the performance. Are you planning to put her on a dyno to see how much difference they make?

Thanks, I'm not really expecting a lot of gain out of the Else upgrade but yes I will get it on the rollers and get it set up properly. I'm also planning on going down the Gold Leaf colour scheme route like yourself :beerchug:

Thanks, I'll try and keep posting an update. Progress depends a bit on other work but I'm trying to make use of lockdown while there's no racing going on.

What is the chassis to body pad you are using? Thanks

r.d. enterprises sells closed-cell foam just for that purpose. Before I knew that r.d. enterprises had it (and probably before they did had it), I got some closed-cell neoprene foam (3/8” thick) from a local rubber and plastics supplier that I used on my car.

Since your body is off why not pull motor and rebuild? especially after the pan and head are off.

As BDA says, its a closed cell foam, it was fitted by the previous owner so can't say where from

Things are coming along nicely. Very tidy work.
