From the album: Whitebird
CV test fit. The axles need a bit of trimming, but they're basically ready to rock. -
From the album: Whitebird
CV axle exploded view. Matt Dewitt's CNC axle adapters, extended spline Type II axle, and GKN CVs. Overall weight of these components is ~2lb more than the stock half shaft. Should take better with the angles of a low 510, though. -

Same 2.25" stainless through the crossmember, up to a 2.25" pipe/2.0" core Magnaflow round muffler. Fits brilliant. -
From the album: Whitebird
2.25" stainless pipe through a stainless flex pipe and stainless resonator (perforated tube, not louvers). -
From the album: Whitebird
The Autech header. 4-1, polished and TIG-welded stainless. Ends in a 2.25" pipe and three-bolt flange. I cut it off to clear the idler and added some bends and a v-band flange. -

SUs mocked up further. Not a lot of room to play with. I'll need a shorter brake master cylinder and will have to relocate the battery. -

Still tricky to get the lighting right, but the car's still in the garage on jack stands, so... -

The finished badge set after sanding, paint, sanding, and clear. -

Whitebird trunk badge installed. -

A very poor photo of the badge in place. Still needs a cleaning and a coat of clear at this point. -

Comparison of the OE Bluebird badge and the new Whitebird badge. If'n I had a local chrome shop, I would have entertained getting these chromed, then painting black. -

After sanding the tooling marks from the faces I painted the badges black, then sanded the faces again to bare aluminum. I'll add a gloss clear coat to help protect against aluminum oxidation. -

Fitting the new badge on the trunk. Fresh from the packaging, I had to see what it on the car. It'll get some paint work before I'm done, both to make it look more OE and to make it show up better on the white paint. -

A shot of the newly-milled badges. CNCed from aluminum, the badges even have the mounting pins. -

1968 SSS instrument cluster installed. All the information you could reasonably want in a naturally-aspirated 510, as the factory intended. -

The finished product. Not 10/10ths, but close enough for government work. Everything cleaned up well. -

The refinished gauge panel. Sort of a mix of '68 and '69 paint styles - '69 black with '68 chrome gauge rings. -
From the album: 1968 SSS Instrument Cluster
The '68 SSS dash differs from the '69 by facia design and color combo. The '68 originally had a gray/silver paint job, with the rectangle surrounding the gauges painted black. The '69 was all black, and this dash was painted black. I'm currently stripping the paint and will be painting it anew in '69 style. -

SSS dash innards. Entire unit is removable assembly; individual gauges are also removable. Everything in metric, of course.
