I admire your motivation; your car is coming together quickly.

I just now realized yours doesn't have the front end cut-outs like the traditional Silva Maco or Motion version, and doesn't have the original-style kick-up's like a Bohannon.

I think Motion had a name for that front end, and I don't think they called it Mako? Same fender peaks as a Mako, same cake pan hood bulge, but no GT40-like hood depressions. I may be wrong; just seems like by '73 or so they were messing around with this "version." Or, maybe someone pulled a mold?

I have never seen a balancer like that either, but I'm not one to notice those small differences on functional parts. Could indeed be something very specific.

that's the same nose as used on The Moray GT, no indentations, personally I prefer this look. The is the fist time I noticed your car is a roadster, can wse see the rear of the car? I'd like to see how it was done....
