    39 ****** behind a 390 with 6x2's?

    I would rethink that..... unless you have about 20 or so lined up like lemmings.

    Seriously.... you will need a much stouter ****** behind the FE......even a stock FE.
    If you want to troll gears..... look into a later 4 speed.

    Thats an awesome car. Im going to run lime fire headers, chop the top but not over done, and not too low on the ride either.

    Im thinking suicide front end on this one but im not too sure if thats a good idea. I just dont think these cars look good built this way and have frame horns.

  23. Do a search for the Burbank Chopper's "Bad News" '27 coupe. Friggin cool with a 10" chop, channeled over a Z'd (front and back) Model A frame, pie crust slicks, Olds mill with 6 carbs, etc... Love those 'T coupes
