Looks great! Stock Frame? Did the ac compressor fit? (didn't on my '63), Aftermarket swap kit or did you make it yourself? Auto or Stick? Any major obstacles? I know I'm asking a lot of questions but I am considering this in a '59

If there are some Forum Members who don't like the modification, they will check out the other threads. There's plenty for everybody.
Okay, so for those of us who are curious, how about a more expanded writeup with pics.

More pictures please, nice job. What frame is under it? Fun project to tackle.

warriordiesel

its a stock frame with jim meyer front end with rack and pinion. Its a 4 speed car. Never tried an AC compressor. I fabbed most of it. I'm a LS and diesel swap shop. The biggest issue was not much room for accessories, and trans had to slide forward a 1/2". The customer loves it. He may do a supercharger later on.

warriordiesel

LOL buy stock in tires. I build alot of cars and do alot of LS swaps but this one was rewarding the most. Top down, 500 EFI hp, roasting tires in 3 gears, yeah enjoyed. He plans on doing the wide tire modification to the rear next then paint

There have been reports of large clouds of tire smoke. Be on the look out for The Red Flash.
