Here it is, before sanding the whole car, through the original red gel coat. (which took about a month) You can see how large the original rectangular lights were. Okay Terry, I'm finished.. Please continue the fantastic build of your car. Any questions about mine, just send me a PM. Greg

When my dear little kitty heard about the hand built cat show, she's running to it right now !

The small 100 watt lights are the low beams. For the high beams I used (glass lens) PIAA lamps on the front. They have triple bulbs. Blue high beams, yellow fog lamps, and amber turn signals, all in one lamp assembly.

Mike, It took over 10 years and around 3000 hours to build this. I've customized it the way I wanted. That's the nice thing with a kit car, you don't have to worry about keeping it original. The tail lights are off a 1977 Chevy Monza, turned upside down. Many parts are off many other cars also...

Sorry to see the magazine go under. I just re-newed my subscription until Sept 2011. I still have many old issues of Kit Car Illustrated and Kit Car Magazine from back from the mid 80's until current. The only one left now is Kit Car Builder.

My 302 was using a lot of oil. Did a compression, then leak down test. All okay. Found out oil was getting past the baffel plate inside the valve cover under the PCV valve. It was sucking oil like a vacuum cleaner right into the base of the four barrel carb. Switched to one breather on each...
