The motor will most likely be a 565ci with nitrous. The paint is called Mystic Purple Mica and is a dark purple that will look almost black in the shade. I will be putting the 1968 ss stripes on but will be in silver. I don't think the motor will be done until the end of next year but the car should be done by the end of this year.

Thanks, The cowl is a 6" and is a little tall when sitting in the car so i may have to put my old 4" cowl on but will not do that until i make a pass in the car again.
