Some under hood pics...

The hinge springs are lighter springs designed for a lighter glass hood, I bought them from Heartbeat City.

The radiator is a 68 big block (tanks OL and IL and date coded L, not sure if it's December 66 or December 67, I don't really care since it's not a factory big block car) manual transmission Harrison unit I bought from SuperNovaSS (Jason). It has a new four row core in it.

The alternator is the rebuilt original 37amp alternator my car was born with, dated August 7th 1966.

The voltage regulator is also the original born with unit dated July 1966.

The horns are also original and dated June 4th 1966.

As you may remember, this car was originally equipped with manual drums.. I purchased a rebuilt OE booster from Mike Gibbons, he just happened to have a date code that fell in line with my car... not really that important to me since it's not original but ironic.

Mike also restored my hood hinges and hood release. I decided to not use the latch with glass hood.

Not really trying to build a sleeper but figured the original 327 fender call outs were cool enough... I thought about putting 427 emblems but just went with the original 327 pieces.

Super cool !!
Soak the battery hold down in a small bowl of dish soap overnight and the sticker should come off without scraping. Gotta love where they put the stupid stickers on parts.
