New NOS tips installed. They fit the car much better than the stainless ones.

 :bigthumb:   they look great, need to put mine on but have to modify them to fit 2 1/2 in pipe.

Not much to update but we did get original (not repop) weather-stripping installed on the top and all of the argent parts painted.

The build looks great.

I have a question and i think it has to do with a visual mirage. If you took a level and put it across both valve covers would it come out level? It almost looks like the motor is clocked to the passenger side (higher) than the driver side. Must just be me.

Anyway, that build should come out a real head turner.  :banana:

@HP_Cuda The engine is sitting on the K-Frame so that it clears the 90 deg brass fitting for the HEMI Power Steering...there isn't much wiggle room either way. It could just be the angle that I took the picture at.

What color Top and Interior?
Had an EK2 car. Gone now, but not forgotten. Love that color.
Sold it this past September. It was EK2 Go-Mango Body, V1W White top, FK4 (70 only color, Burnt Orange) Interior, V5X - Black side body molding... a 4 color car.
Alas, twas but a 318 904... Original owner replaced the factory side molding with an aftermarket molding when he had it painted.
