Hate to start a new thread for this but anything I had pix in is long gone LOL. Anyway it's just barely drivable right now & have made a couple local Cruise-Ins but haven't made it to the track...yet.

Div. 1 bracket finals are this week and once that's over, I hope to get at least one S/G race in.
That vette looks like it's a blast to drive

It's serving bracket duty for the time being. I ended up hurting the motor in my Mustang a few weeks ago, so we ripped out all of the electronics in the T Bird and I've been footbraking it ever since.

L-79 it's stock front end stuff. It looks nice but it's gonna have to be raised some. The lower a-arms are very close to the frame. That's the way it was when I got it & I just haven't changed it yet. May try to look into a set of dropped spindles to keep it low but give it down travel.

Beautiful car!
Will you be at cruisin the coast with it?
I'm assuming you're in the South seeing the Bama fan in the background.
If you ever think of selling it, put me in front of the line I love it.

Got a chance to weigh it & it's only 2180# running with a iron head 355" motor & 'Glide...less driver. A set of aluminum heads would put it @ about 2130. I couldn't believe it was that light with a stock front suspension except for a R&P steering & Willwood front brakes!

Dam that thing is light!! My 80 came in at 2750 and I thought that was light. I hope my 66 comes in under 2900.

I couldn't believe it either so I split weighed it also...1120 on the front & 1060 rear. I knew it was light the first time I hauled it.
