damn she's pretty! nice job there Sam, is the engine stock?

most everything on this baby is stock, I added a factory CD ( I just didn't want to deal with points & condensers) the engine and trans were completely gone through by Andial and it screems right up to 7300 RPM and shifts better then new (I added an improved shift coupler) and with the sport muffler from the drivers seat it sounds like the real sports car that it truly is, and after four days of driving around on the original 41/2 x 15 fuchs I switched over to 51/2 x15's with 195x60 15 ( I just needed some meat under me) I've been driving a 84 and now 87 super sport for the last four years while the 67 was being done and WOW what a difference twenty years makes, I truly feel the 67S is to the short wheel base cars what the RS is to the long wheel base series, now that I've had a chance to break it in over the last month I can tell you that it was worth the wait.

Wow! Clean!

(I guess dark roads won't be much of a problem for you with that light setup.)

I bought it from a buddy, he has them in all his cars, all I can tell you is that it makes shifting the 901 like night and day, I'll call him and get you the info.

I debated on weather or not to add a set of hood lights ( as I have a few sets laying around ) but I just thought it would be over the top on a street car ( and if I was going to do hood lights I'd have to use at least four or maybe six , two just don't look right to me ) maybe the next project ?

the only one's I have at the moment were taken before the car was detailed and things were pretty dusty, but I'm taking it in to Andial next week and they will have it up on the rack and I;m going to shoot a lot of shots of the undercarriage and the engine compartment, I'll post some after that.

I look forward to it. You have done a great job Sam, congrats.
