    I FINALLY GOT MY ENGINE IN THE SAME BUILDING WITH MY PROJECT. I already have a pair of SKIP WHITE aluminum heads installed on the long block. The engine is a 327 c.i.d from a 1968 Caprice. The engine is rebuilt.

    s-l1600 (2).jpg I just purchased my 4th steering column (trying to find one that will work). The 4th one is designed for GM trucks.The 1st 3 are tilt style columns designed for passenger cars. The tilt section of the 3 columns is too wide for my perticular application. The 4th column is also a tilt style ( the tilt section is contoured different). It also doesn't have an ignition switch attached to the 2" o.d column.

    I cut out 1 1/2" squares & began covering the snake's head. I used 3/4 ounce fiberglass mat. The photos show the snake's head with the first layer of 3/4 ounce mat. I plan to apply 4 layers. DSCN1613.JPG DSCN1618.JPG DSCN1619.JPG DSCN1620.JPG I plan to attach the snake's heads over the rectangular holes located above the windshield motors.

    It's supposed to be a rattle snake's head. I made some eye arches for the head today.

    More progress on the snake's head. When i tried to separate the fiberglass for from the wooden form , it came off in several pieces (a big disaster). I salvaged the eye dormers & repaired the wooden form. The form is going to be installed in my dashboard. DSCN1625.JPG DSCN1626.JPG DSCN1627.JPG Here's some photos of the snake's head :
