Default (Pics)...update on my project...
Everyone else was updating their projects, so here goes mine. Frame, suspension/steering will be complete this weekend. Then, I strip the body, put it on the chasis, and ship it to the restorer who is going to do the body work/paint. Meanwhile, i will get mu chasis back to finish the final touches and most importantly, the motor. Can't say enough to everyone here who helps with the knowledge, motivation and a shoulder to cry on.


Rearend


My choice of tire/rim


The thing that makes the car go...




Dart IE's..hopefully these will perform the way I plan.

Dart Iron Eagle - 72 cc chamber, straight plugs, 219cc intake runners, 2.05 intake valves. I think I made a good choice, I'm hoping it will really wake up that 400.
