awesome! What was the last thing you did to her before you stood back and smiled? I'm always interested in people's reactions when they've accomplished something so great.

very very nice. what paint did you pick? it;'s very similar to mine. I've no idea what I have exactly. the closest I found was a late 70s ford racing blue

the carb looks like an edelbrock and in the front you have both vacuum pickups blocked (ported and manifold). So where have you hooked your vacuum advance to?

kalli, i had both ports plugged while messing with the distributor. my vacuum advance is causing a short at part throttle and killing the spark. just another little bug to work out. as far as the paint, i didnt have to paint the car, just the hood. i think it is the presidential blue thou. i am holding off painting the car for now, it looks great for a driver car and thats what i plan on doing with it.

by the way, thanks to everyone for the complements.
