great work there Matt, keep it coming
I like the scoop, where did it come from? Looking forward to seeing this run at the drags. I'm sure it'll be well and truly tested by then!
came from a dude on the hamb - Richies speed shop or similar name - will have look later let you know. I wanted a cal custom one but the prices were stupid so went for this one was about £80.
As for tested by the drags - theres plenty of quiet roads for testing around here ;-)
Any more progress for us to see ?
Looking good sonny, Ritchie is a good guy to deal with, I have the same scoops.

some nice work there mate keep it coming
looking good , any updates , would love to do somethng similar to mine
Just rejoined the NSRA so thought id post a update on the heap.
Zetec has been acce and done thousands of miles with it but car needs a freshen up again now and time to update...big changes comin...
so last summer i mocked up some new wheels and tires..
then built a chassis table and scored some rails..
Didnt end up keeping much of the rails to be fair.... so its now gonna be drop tube front...8 inch rear - 350sbc with 4-71 blower - manual trans ..its a bit further on than these pics now .. but the plan is to have the chassis ready to trial fit the body after the hot rod drags....
Mods - dunno if i can change title of thread from zetec to small block?
