    It seems that your modern hot rod math works pretty well.

    Amazing what those few changes did, plug wires helped also. The steering wheel is real nice...

    I liked the before pic better.

    Seriously.

    I remember that pic you posted of you standing beside that Falcon. Man, that pic ruled (I think it was you).

    The 70's ruled.

    I want to buy that thing off of you so I can restore it to its former 70's/80's glory.

    the black plug wires help a lot too, amazing what a couple inches and wheels will do for the overall look

    I was too cool for school. A good friend worked at a goodyear store in town, and scored a pair of goodyear indy tires for me.....added deep dish chrome reverse, and on the front was skinny cragar ss's....the pic was taken in 68-69 when I was a senior in highschool... My girlfriend was a cute blond....and life was *****in, till the army wanted to draft me.

    OK....some answers.


    It's a 4 3/4 inch chop

    The wheels fit damn near perfect!!!

    Plans include some flat paint, and maybe some secret stuff.....
