74 3.0 CS Mild Restoration

[Bmachine]

Most excellent all the way around.

Now to get picky here for a second... This exhaust pipe was obviously designed to come out under and past the bumper. Now that that is history, the pipe seems to stick out a bit far...

I'm really enjoying this build. I think the pre-74 bumpers look very nice on our cars but I really respect that you are doing this in a manner that makes you happy! Great work!

You have a keeper now!
That was a nice engine too.
Can't wait to see it.

I'm in Pleasanton ... just let me know when you want to stop by!

Yep, good point. I was kinda thinking about a pre-74 rear bumper in future but man I like the shape of the rear all blended out. Looks like an old lake boat to me.

Will chop it down!

Thanks man.

I also love original looking coupes. The OE guys are super impressive and it's much more difficult than what I'm up to here.

Al Melton owned this car way back and he was a tuner guy. Even have his name still on the driveshaft. When I got the car, someone on the forum said just go with the story of the car. That really resonated so here we are!
