Paint is a hard decision, been thinking of wrapping it. But current thinking is painting the top half shiny black and from the swage line down red

Engine is good, it has forged pistons on eagle rods, edelbrock top end package includes heads performer intake and edelbrock cam and lifters. Has a quickfuel carb & TTi headers. Ran the motor in on the dyno and it pulled 490HP pretty pleased with that

I brought the car in California about 15 years ago it was running, not well but did run. The diff had no oil, power steering leaks etc. Motor is fresh and I have run it in on the dyno, 727 has been fully rebuilt with extra hemi clutches, diff is 8 3/4 with 3.91 with heavy duty Yukon LSD. I have fitted a Accusump which is mounted under the drivers side front guard. Have just received my new Legendary interior kit so thats something else I can carry on installing.

Question
On the SE cars the rear window is smaller with a filler out to the original or stock window
I thought all of these cars had vinyl tops to cover the seam
So I assume you are going the extra mile to be able to paint the top
Very cool

Yes SE has the small back window, I will stick on the new vinyl roof once it is painted
