thanks guy's on all the compliments i really want to do alot more to the car but money is tight right now.i've got the hood almost done with the grump lump and when it's done i'll post pics.i might even be changing wheels again thinking of going with ET gasser style fronts with 15x10 torque thrust "D" wheels out back. the motor really sounds nice with the #140 cam and 3" exhaust it'll set off car alarms driving down the street with ease.i also would like to swap out the TH350 and put in it's place a M20 or M22 4spd that should really wake up the power then. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Chuck Chuck Chuck, Your going to put on a wheel that was used 99.9999% on front engine rails back in the early 60's on a 70's era musclecar?? Don't forget the wide whitewall pie crust drag slicks on the rear to finish out the look.

I know personal taste are different for each person but c,mon what are you thinking? Somebody needs to whop you on the side of the head before you make a major financial and asthetic mistake.

You west coast guys are making me sick again! Cool car!! Looks like a good run for Caleb and Frank. A/MP against a C/MP, for the final round of modified eliminator at the 1974 NHRA SS Nationals at York U.S.30! P.S. Listen to Whitetop. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif
