Thats a great start for your next "from spare parts" build!!
You just need a few more hood parts and you'll have most of the hood and we all know after that it's a few parts here and there and you'll have the Whole Body!
I hope that the next blown engine I build wont be in a car that had a hood.

Tell him when he blows that wimpy rearend out of it that I'll sell him a disc Dana 70. With that heavy ass BBC and extra 100lb of blower any G-Force Drifting is out the window anyway.

The guys wife wouldn't let him get a Harley so this is what she would let him have to go with his other 2 vets....one 68 small block auto and a 69 big block 4 speed.....and yes I have had my grubby hands on them also.

The first car he brought me was a blue 69 with a big block 427 with an epoxy up big port intake on oval port heads......so I replaced the heads and cam with an eddy top end kit with a roller cam upgrade and some side mount headers.
I played with the exhaust baffles on this car also and it turned out pretty good....or at least I do and the owner.
The next car was the 68 small block that I rebuilt the th 400 trans and did a eddy top end kit.....but it was a low compression truck block so I installed LT 1 forged pistons....This truck block was so virgin it had no wear on the plastic cam gear or cylinders.
The funny thing was that both of these other car didn't have vet engines in them and he always wondered how many he had to buy to get one with a vet engine......guess what this 76 had the original engine in it...go figure.
