NICE, I LIKE IT!!!!! :clap:
I hope you don't have problems with the headlight height though, Maryland would not approve for street use, a neighbor of mine did something similar some years ago, and he was just lucky they didn't have annual inspections anymore....I dunno about Va. the feds got involved on that stuff....:bonkers: so I hope you got that base covered...
nice rear deck/lights....like the old show car paint job too....:beer::beer:

454CanAm -
Been lurking on the MakoForum - been watching some of your work there -- Nice!
The Split Grill is so nice - I'm doing a copy for mine too.
Are those Door Popprers I see in the door jam?
Whose are they? Look like they'd have lots of grunt.
Very nice color scheme + interior too!
Thanks and, Cheers - Jim

Nice work. Are the grilles something you can buy or did you have to fab them up yourself?

I've put antique tags on the car, so I don't have to get it inspected..................... hopefully there won't be any issues with the height.............. or having the inside one behind the grill !!!

For years Md. did not require inspection except when tagging the car for first time.....so my friend took advantage of that fact....but he was super nervous of moving to Pa. for retirement, on account of that....
which is why I raised the point, I think the car looks great and hate to see some .gov fuck you over on it...

I fabbed them myself.................... got some 1/4" aluminum rod,made some patterns and started bending and cutting. Took me days to get 'em right, but finally got them looking pretty good. Spent a few hours buffing them to a shine and finally got them installed.
Thanx for the compliments guys
...........if these snows will ever stop, I can put the front end back on and see the whole car together for the first time !!!
phantomjock...................
those are jambtac's in the door jamb. I used these to clean the jambs up.............. they transfer the power to the windows and power locks so I don't have all the electrical wires running between the body and the door !

Did you weld them together or have you got the rod going through holes in brackets or something?

saudivette,
If you look close, you can see I took the easy way out................. drilled 1/8" holes and pop riveted the quarter inch bars to a couple of square tube brackets I made that attach to the body !
enkeivette,
Had to have 3 lights on each side since its a widebody !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:lol:
SmokinBBC,
How do you put pix in the garage....... or update the garage ???
Inquiring minds want to know !!! :sos:

Wow! Very nice work, thanks for sharing with us. What running gear do you have? I'd guess it runs as great as it looks!!!

Even as a Mako - vette's leak!
454CanAM - was it the brake/pedal mounting bolts?
You've added them to my list of TOO-DOOs when I get that far along.
Lookin' REAL GOOD!
