Looks Nice man. I have always wanted to get a gt. Maybe one day

Very nice! One on my wish list-

[romulus22]

Ive always been a truck over buggy person. This was number two on my list, (first was my first hobby grade car). Not sure what my third is going to be. Have a while to track down all the decals for the box art look.

Changed title and updated first post. Just gotta show off the new parts

So that pipe fits well? That's the one off the Serpent right?

Piece of art BTW!

[romulus22]

That's the Serpent pipe. The exhaust hanger bracket in its factory hole in the chassis sits right where it mounts to the pipe. Im 100% certain this is the pipe in the picture on the box now I have it in hand and on the truck.

Side by side with the factory pipe.

Getting closer.....

Big thanks to Vintagemishal for painting the body for me and doing a perfect job. Only a few more correct decals and a few other minor things and she'll be a proper replica. Since its just a shelter I think I'm going to leave the windows. I'm undecided if I want to cut them yet.

Too cool for words!

Where did you find the engine? I have been looking for one of those for a long time. I have seen a few pull start versions but never a non pull. Can you give me any more info on the pipe? I have always heard that the box pipe was s Paris. That one certainly looks right though.

[romulus22]

DHood sold me the engine. And the pipe you probably know just as much as I do. I just found it on a car on ebay and had to buy a bunch of stuff to get it. I don't have a part number and I've tried to research paris racing pipes but I find very little info on them. I'm still on the search all the time cause the one I have has some rash on the bottom from being on an on road car and dragging the ground. Was a little disappointing when I saw that but I was expecting it. Would have been too lucky if it was in perfect shape.

I know what opinions are like, but I still like to show mine. I would definitely not cut the windows on that beauty. Looks killer just as it is.

Not to mention George Carlin is one of my all time faves and I smile every time I see your avatar.

[DHood]

Cut the windows. Looking good

[romulus22]

Fully decaled now.

I can almost call it done.

Very nice!!!!!!!!

It's stuff like this that inspires me; sadly not enough time to work, race, write and restore....
