It looks awesome :D Sure, some will cringe seeing a solid-enough looking alpine irreversibly modified, but it's still a fascinating build.

It looks like you don't have a lot of clearance with the engine in there - the lefthand exhaust manifold looks like it's even in constant contact with the fender well. Are you forgoing motor mounts?

Lots of interesting fabrication going on! The dash (and everything else) turned out nice

We had found the culprit as to why the front left wheel came off the Sentravalanche was my nephew . We had changed the starter and he had removed the front left tire. We now go check all wheels as a precaution to protect the driver and the crowd .

We took the MGB F explorer powered 4,0 automatic and did a 15. 2 on the quarter mile and got a pretty good auto cross run . We placed 19th out 30 ish competitors and won the best bribe for the judges . Tom took his Swallow Doretti and got best oddball car and got a 14.06 in the drag . Great weekend Alpine getting the 1985 mustang one wire distributor from salvage yard net week . Awesome weekend and lotta fun . http://s1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/mgacoupe1960/challenge%20drag%20day/?albumview=slideshow
