relocated battery 2



in order to relocate the batterycables, straps are welded to the trunkfloor. Original-style clamps.

relocated battery



Super Stock cars had the battery relocated in the trunk. Peebles will be fitted with this option also.

floorboards



Peebles was fitted with a rubber floormat. Moisture got in between the floormat and the floorpans..resulting in no-more-floorpans.
Wilco & Toon did a heck of a job and changed the floorpans with some repro-parts from Jim Kramer Automotive

no more dents



due to a majorly cross-eyed dude in the port of Zeebrugge, the front valance was heavily dented. Wilco put all his efforts in this piece of metal. Wilco won!

right wheeldrops



Toon & Wilco tried to save as much original sheetmetal. See this pic of the right wheeldrop; they almost saved it all.

k-member



Peebles used to have a small 6-banger..but she is gonna get a V8; my good friend Antoon changed the slant-6 k-member and fixed some new engine-supports for future V-8 purposes...
