She's done! '66/67 426 hemi Petty Belvedere tribute

[sxarnold]

Have run her ~200 miles to get all the bugs out. Heading back to the shop to get everything tightened down and checked out. I can't decide if I'm going to put the sponsor stickers on but I do have most of them as originals. Licensed, insured and registered in CA. Not even close to street legal. 509HP/498 ft/lb before we had the Holley LeMans carb completely dialed in. And yes, I drive it most weekends at least once and still sweat for a few minutes when it's parked.

Really nice. I like the attention to detail and fine craftsmanship

You could place your sponsor stickers in their place with scotch tape and see how it looks. I think the car looks naked without them, jmo.

Sounds Great too

Way cool! Needs stickers. I used to put sponsor stickers on magnetic paper. This way you can remove them if need be.

FWIW, my wife grew up in Santa Cruz area (Scott's Valley). She's always looking for a road trip. Love to see it in person some day.

I'm by the harbor so PM me when you're in the area. Here's the Scott's Valley Police Chief posing with the car. I try to get all of the local Chiefs just in case I get pulled over in it.

Really well executed car, I'd love to see some pictures of the front under hood area, I am very interested in how the snout bars and front suspension are configured.

I was surprised to see the battery under the hood.
