            very kool mang!
            I like the wheel/tire combo..must handle pretty nice with those!

            and that interior is amazing..most of the leather interior boxes I see have either wrinkles out the wazoo or rips.

              I'm going to build my own as you suggested. I started looking for just the 93-95 Lightning GT40 Intake Cover & I found one for sale close to my house! I figured it was ment to be, so I went to pick it up today.

              Here is a pic, I chiped the paint off when I blew it dry but since I'm going to powder coat it to match the intake upper & lower so no big deal..........

              I figured this would be a hard part to find.

                  Nice. You are builind basically the same thing I planned years ago.

                  I've got an NOS lightning intake plate, had a GT40 intake for a 302, and you are the only person I've ever seen with the same tach!

                    The intake I bought is for a 302. My plan is to get a 347 CID stroker 302 motor to go with the intake. That way I don't have to cut a hole in hood to use FI on a 351.:hacksaw:


                    I need to figure out what color I'm going to coat the intake. Any suggestions?

                    I was thinking about Reflective Chrome, the inside of this timing cover is Reflective Chrome ............


                    I still need lots of parts................

                      I need to contact AutoMeter and see if they could do a custom 140MPH or 160MPH speedo.
