'68 454 vette

I'm hoping to finish this thing up this winter. Remember that I live in FL and the summer is not the time to work on cars. 675hp, 5 speed overdrive trans, rack and pinion steering, hydraulic clutch, billet aluminum bellhousing, double adjustable shocks, Herb Adams sway bars and a whole lot more. It weighs under 3000 pounds.

Thanks. It is mostly finished except for the interior, brakes and a few other minor items. I want to put in slotted and drilled titanium rotors with 6 piston calipers in the front and 4 pistons in the rear, carbon fiber seats, sidepipes and headers are new but need to be ceramic coated. The wheels were custom made by Boyd Coddington before he died. The headers are custom made by Stahl (notice that the primaries do not extend out the side of the car like Hooker junk). Hooker sidepipes have primaries that are too long and horsepower is reduced as a result.

Right now it is just a stock interior. That is one of the things I hope to address this winter.
