The Ramjet is a good looking set up.

Dumb question, what is the utility tray used for?

No such thing as a dumb question lol it was originally meant for the tool kit but I use it for cleaning supplies, and some tools as well flash light etc

Beautiful, beautiful build. My favorite to date. Every part compliments the other very, very well...and you have a 61 bubble - my favorite Chev 2dr HT.

TPI is a great choice in looks & function. Always liked the resemblance to the old fuelie units of the 50s & 60s.

You earned that big trophy & hopefully more...

I used 59 I mpala steering wheel and it's coming along but that's all I've done so far.
Congrats on a beautiful resto and the trophies and the others to come.
