    yep , we are at it again. this time its a front 2x4 frame graft and a speedway 4 inch dropped tube axle with ford spindles and steering arms, cross steer with a new vega box and ptt arm. new gas shocks, and gm disc brakes. custom built motor mounts and mid plate for the 392 hemi with the 8 port hilborn injection or the other motor he has is a 392, with 671 blower and 4 port hilborns, streetable with a super t-10 four speed. custom headers by S&S headers for a willys but work well with this deal. we had to move the firewall back 2 inches and 32 inches across for this monster but it fits well. I think it is gonna be a kool car when done... enjoy

    I've seen that car before, it looks like a handful. I'd like to run my truck with you guys sometime, or at least come out and watch.

    That is an awesome ride! Please keep some update photos coming.
    I crewed on a race '57 in the seventies which had been an East Coast E/Gas car then shipped over here. Loved them ever since...

    Well my '57 getting a little tired . . . no thanks I'll use my hemi elsewhere. The one you're building will be a wild ride though. I'm interested in the injection. Will it be mechanical or electronic?

    it is mechanical with a dial a jet pill box, and electric squirter to start it and then to the hilborn front mounted fuel pump... also a vertiex mag will be used as well..

    I like it. What a combo for a gasser, Hemi and chevy isn't that what hot rodding is all about, building what you want. Keep the pics coming.
