what size of rubber are you running on the magnums? falken azenis are a fun drift/autox tire!

How much room do you have between the front tire to that brace inside the fender running those tires??

 

[Wookie316]

I will check. We actually just put them on. Need to check all my clearance yet. If I have issues I guess the rally wheels go back on.

 

[Wookie316]

Well it wasn't washed and waxed when I took these photos, but we are real close to being done with all the cosmetics ;) Wheel opening moldings, chin spoiler and Superbee emblems to go on the fenders yet! Other than that it has come together very nice. The stripe completly changes the look of this car.

 

[snakeyes]

If this isn't beauty i don't know what is. Your car came together amazingly

 

[Wookie316]

Well to help with cooling I put a 16" pusher fan in front of the rad. The twin 10" don't seem to have the cooling for the big 512 in stop and go traffic.

Also put a newer style alt on to help with powering the fans as well as the stereo.

Just one more thing to check off the list.

Sounds like a fun build!! Have you considered going with a bigger intake and carb though?

SuperNice SuperBee!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wookie316]

Yes, thought about going bigger. Also have thought about going fuel injected. I had some of these parts before I decided to go so big on the stroker kit. Cam is a bit small and there are much better heads on the market, but overall it will be a good street engine.

Going to put some miles on it before I decide to do anything else to the motor.

Ill bet your glad all that work at your hands and right foot now Wookie! Hope you have a ball with it putting the first 1000 miles on it.. Shes a real beauty. Following along so long with this its really been fun watching all the new parts going in and on and it sure payed off looking at these pictures! Enjoy..

Yea, got to put some miles on it before tearing it apart to make it faster yet!

 

[detmatt1]

Very nice!

 

[Wookie316]

Holes cut in fan shroud and flaps installed. This baby will run cool for sure now!

Making some of the wiring look a bit neater.

It now has an adjustable temperature sensor to regulate when the fan comes on.

Wow, looks awesome and sounds great

 

[Kenneth]

heavenly sound and looks sharp !

 

[Wookie316]

Well The audio is all wrapped up. I know some will think it's just terrible to modify a classic, while others will LOVE it! I like my tunes, so why not cruise in style. The finished product is AWESOME!!!! Photos speak louder than words though!
3 JL Amps With a JBL MS8, JL 12W7, Focal Utopia front end. iPod hids in the console. SOUNDS GREAT!!!!

Even LED's in the gauges now too!

 

[Ron 73]

I think it looks good, I like my tunes myself but liked the way the original radio looks in the dash and left it that way, my after market radio is on the front of the console, speakers in the kick panels, just 6x9 in the back all is good when i ride, ill bet money yours sounds much better! love that Super Bee decal, Enjoy the ride!

My 71 with 17" Year One Rally Wheels. 17x8 front 255/50R17 Nitto 555 & 17x9 rear 295/45R17 Mickey Thompson. Huge improvement I think. ;)
