Calipers and More

Sounds a good option Dee8go, I went the extra because I wanted to keep them the same colour as the car.
I have since gone the whole nine yards by putting a pair of small neon lights in the wheel arches. The switches to turn them on I put in the ash tray. I fabricated a plate to hold the switches which sits wear the butts used to go, so I have a secret compartment, sort of.
Looks awesome at night just flickering off the chrome wheels.

Well, Tony, I believe you have out-pimped me with the neon lights! You should post a picture of yours. I'd love to see it and doubt we'll run into each other at a GTG since you're in Australia.

A photo just does'nt do justice. It must be at night and looks better when in motion flickering of the chrome and thats more of a video.
I have played with the car though, this is the motor after valve job and clean up, etc.

Boy, that is one clean-looking engine, Tony. I hope to get mine to that condition at some point down the road.

Yeah thanks, I am in the process of repairing some cracked edges on the blower cover then repainting it to match the car.
It sticks out like a sore thumb in black.
I think I will do the two water bottles too.
Getting there though
Tony
