    I think the height is perfect also. Really like the wide-5's. Going to be a really interesting car!

    Everything's been done before. I got it from something I saw in an Annual years ago and added my own twist to it.

    That's gotta be a first, a Clifford 6=8 with a two two adapter, tell us how she runs.

    And once again, is that your 1960 Ford?

    I wish there was a 2x2 manifold for those motors.

    Yep, the '60 is mine.

    I love that Ford, is it for sale? I'm sure I couldn't afford it anyhoo, just curious.
    And you could always make a manifold.

    Similiar to my latest project. I'm running a built 232 inline 6 AMC and an auto. 114" wheelbase is long but with the inline, it has to be.
    Looks real cool.

    Kirk, you phukked up and got the stance just right! (only joshin', of course you got great taste as evidenced by your S&C award, ha) 'Specially when you get a bit more weight in it! That six, along with the cream colored components will look really good! It's like you know what you're doing.

    The wheelbase on mine is 111". I could have lost about 2 more inches if I really tried, but I kind of like the rearend dragging behined the car a little.

    As for the manifold...yeah, I may make one in the future.

    I'm just saying, maybe you oughta rethink those front bone mounts. They seem kind of flimsy...

    I do really like the flying teepee design to the firewall, though.

    Dude, I kind of thought you knew what you were doing. You gotta use bailing wire for that stuff, a zip tie can't handle that kind of stress.

    A double loop of bailing wire twisted together at the end. I can show you how it's done, sometime. It is much safer and more traditional...

    I am gonna bring up that flying teepee firewall, too. Just so you always think about it when you look at the firewall. See it? Flying teepee...

    Body looks done to me. All you need is a couple of cushions off the couch.
