Projects Dad's '63 Lemans AWB car

Nice. It looks like you stretched the rear wheel opening. I think that looks awesome on these cars. I'm a big fan of Arnie's tempest , but I like the tyree cars wheelwells better.

Great build but I'm not feeling those drag radials.

 

One place you should definitely bring it to....................

Maybe not, but they will however actually work.

 

Didn't Mickey Thompson campaign one of these early on. May have even been an earlier year?? Muttley, you are the curator of all things altered?????

What size MT radials are you using in the rear! THis is really an EXCELLANT build, I cannot wait to see this finished!!! *****IN!

 

I think Thompson put his together with a SD 421 and standard pontiac rear end before the factory produced SD Pontiac Tempests.

Certainly p***es the first impression test. Can't wait to see more progress!
63 Lemans are hard to beat on eye appeal when done right.

 

go wake dad up and get back to work! looks great!

 

A few updates...the front end is finished, the motor and trans are in, the rear end is done, and the cage is in.

The Tempest is looking great!! So happy to see you stay with Pontiac power and not some generic scrub engine!! It is going to be COOL!!!

 

Man, now I wish the Falcon was a Tempest!!!

 

Looks like some real progress has been made.

 

LIKE!
