68 GT convertible project

Yes, Jeff I'll be needing new rear panels. Mine are brittle and cracked. I'll keep an eye on yours...I just can't spend the money right now.

I finished the air cleaner over the weekend. I painted the lid, base and filter cover with Eastwood's Extreme Chassis black satin. I really like the color. The air filter I bought from Summit was a generic brand that was half the price of a K&N. The quality looks really nice but the filter media is pink. I wanted that aluminum/stainless mesh look to show through the dimpled holes in the air cleaner but this filter had the mesh on the inside...not the outside. The pink color really showed through which I didn't like. I ended up cutting the mesh out of the standard paper filter that came with the Summit air cleaner kit. Then I wrapped the mesh around the outside of the new filter. It looks a lot better now IMO. The pink filter is a lot less noticeable.

I'm working on customizing the valve covers at the moment. I'm close to being done with them. I think they will look pretty good when finished. I'll post some pictures once they're done.
