Front cage now fitted to the Gilbern Chevy GT and it is now with GRP specialists.

Progress with the body restoration.

The Chevy GT is now back from the paint shop and I have moved on to the mechanicals.

The first challenge has been to find the right position for the engine. Having lost the original, and in the absence of any engine bay period pictures, it has been a question of finding the best solution for height, left/right orientation and front/back. Having tried various positions I think I have now found the best compromise and this has required fabrication of brackets for the chassis/engine mounts and repositioning of the mount for the box. I have managed to get the rams horn manifolds on but not suitably lining up for pipe connections. Space is very tight. Work continues.

Any update Mike?

This was getting a runout at Mallory Park yesterday. Didn't know what it was until the owner explained it to me. It looked like the restoration was a real success.
