WOW super nice!
before you paint go ahead and glass in those flanges at the wheel wells
it takes a little more time but adds the finished look.
taperd into the body makes it look factory finish
mine are sealed all the way around.
I can use the inside pod area as storage (If I wanted to)

I had to do mine out of force but so glad I did it realy does make the car
if you want you could check it out at the blast
or just hop over to my Photo bucket and look in there

Steve they are sealed all the way jist not glassed over the reason for that is i am goig to paint the bottom side black and use the seam as a stopping point for the paint just for a little seperation of colors. trust me it will look great. ive looked at it both ways and given it much thought with the color im using this way looks best to me..

Ive got a set of carbs that look just like yours but I have no linkage for them. I was told they were for a type3 and wouldn't work on a type1. I used them once just to start and run an engine they seem to work well so it kinda sucks that I cant use them.
Do you have any info on them or know where to get the linkage?

Thanks
