We had a chance to put our photography skills to work yesterday...
Did some editing, matting and framing on "Blu BiYu". BTW, we have gotten so many kind compliments on how she looks and sounds. We are so thankful and grateful to each and every one of them... Sincerely, Kurt and Kathy Keller

Rear Sway Bar
Installed a Rear Sway Bar on "Blu BiYu"from Summit Racing....not really because she needed one, but more so "cause" she looks better from the rear!

Nice jub on this car Kurt! I really enjoyed watching this build come together. I really like the chrome rally wheels and tire size you chose. I was wondering what size were the AR torque thrust wheels/tires?

Latest photos of "Blu BiYu" at The Gorski Farm in Monticello, Indiana. Love taking photos of this car, especially at different times of the day...this was at dusk....The White Pearl we added to the paint allows her to change colors....

Last But Not Least
Finally done with this girl. I had a dual snorkel air cleaner ordered from Ames since Oct 2018. They were never produced.
We found one on FB Marketplace. It was in a guy's garage for the last 30 + years. I did not have to paint it...just cleaned it up and installed a new chrome lid. Nice score for "Blu BiYu"

Kurt,
After following your build from the start, I never saw anything but first class progress. That being said, I believe the spring change was the finishing touch to make your car perfect. Oh, and your decision to not install the bumper guards. |

Yeah, very nice job. She's a real head turner on the street l'll bet.
