71' Gtx

finished it up today, I wanted to finish this quick because im back into nascar building now since the season is starting!

notice I made the scoop closed, as on the car it opens when you put the pedal to the metal . and everybody always does it open so I did it differant. lol
also I added performance plug wires, and had to make heater hoses cause the kit doesnt come with them

this is a hard color to photograph also for some reason lol

Nice detail work under the hood. Looks refreshing with the plain wheels and the hood scoop in the closed position. Good work!

Re: 71' Gtx

I love the colour matched wheels, looks great. Did you lower the front end? Or is that the box stock ride height?

The stance is awesome. Hope you will find the time to build something else than NASCARs during the season. Great work man!
