Will set them in the sun when it warms up around here. Thanks.
dude, you are the fabricator I've always dreamed of being. I am inspired to try some of this on my own.
If you stay with the commando 273, I will have a set of valve covers soon that will look brand new when Leanna (cudachick) gets done with them.
Thanks for the kind words!! As for the covers, I have a good set but thanks for the offer. I did mine at home with Krylon wrinkle finish paint and they look pretty good. SSSHHH, don't tell Leanna!!dude, you are the fabricator I've always dreamed of being. I am inspired to try some of this on my own.

Thank you. Your '68 looks like a nice car also.We (wife and I) are rebuilding a 68 Barracuda, with the help of some very awesome people...that is a good looking Barracuda you have. So much like the 68!
How much is she doin those for? I kinda need mine done too!
A full resto on a pair of Commandos usually runs $140-$150 before the FABO discount depending on the work to be done.
I agree, fabrication is the fun part, although I was a little nervous cutting into the frame's cross brace. That was a first for me. Got plenty of clearance for the tubes now!!fab is my favorite part. anyone can swap parts, but it takes fortitude and perserverance to make them first.
Cowl/vent area is in excellent shape. I still have a couple of small patches to make, then lots and lots of body work. I'll have to go through the wire harness too, some of the wiring looks a little suspect. Looks like your car is coming along nicely, like that blue.8)Nice progress, seems to be alot of the same repairs i had to make body wise, pans,battery innerfender,quaters. Its a good feeling to do your self, a feeling of accomplishment.
Hows the fresh air/cowl vent area?
