    God damn that car is coming together very nicely! Those cylinder heads and intake are the icing on the cake. I'm saving my pennies for a set of aluminum cylinder heads for my old race motor 8ba. So bad ***!!!

    Sprint wheel, not that the 46 isn't awesome. But guess it really depends on your end vision.

    Pete! This has come out really well. As always, nice work. I really dig the stance and the frame height.
     
  27. I haven't getting notices on this thread.
    Pete this thing looks great!
    However you have a strange fixation with Sasquatch.

    IMG_5035.JPG IMG_5034.JPG Spent a few hours working on the column drop tonight.

    I had a long pick up column drop which was perfect since it needed to be shortened and the angle changed.


    I also had a 40 wheel cup that I hogged out a bit and slid it on the F100 mast. Everything's roughed in and in place.
