Hello people,
Thought I would put up a picture of the beast. 10 years of restoration and an eye watering amount of money thrown at it, but it is finally driveable. Still doesn't run right, but at least its driving and is fun.
Next step is to bore/stroke it to a 489ci tyre melter.
This one is of its natural environment. I am currently getting 6 to the gallon, and driving it carefully.

And, gratuitously, one of Mrs 427James.

Yikes! Looks great though, and I like the lack of bling/chrome.Unfortunately I dont have any pics of the engine bay at the moment.

Sir, when you have had enough of this car please PM me. That is sex on wheels.
Also without lowering the tone, Mrs 427james looks very nice aswell.
You should be a proud man.
I am quite pleased. Suffered a bruised ego when the timing was off, and I started the car at open throttle, just to witness a major backfire and pick the remains of the rocker covers off the top of the heads. THat happened about 2 hours after those pictures!Also without lowering the tone, Mrs 427james looks very nice aswell.

Back together now, but needs fettling....
