Car looks cool. That's going to be awesome once you get the 460 in there.

Nice looking car man...but you're way off on the 4300lb estimated weight.  You're probably under 3800lbs...now maybe with a cast iron 460 with cast iron heads, that might take you up to the 4000lb mark.

Have you guys ever seen this ebay auction?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8032165664 (http://"http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8032165664")

Looks like the seller makes louvers for all types of cars. I wonder if he's a member of these boards?
