Huh...considering it dosn't have inner fender's i really can't understand why he didn't just use real fenderwell's on it...aside from cost anyway... I dig the car...well, i dig Nomads in general.
I dub this the Pep Boy of tri-fives. On a very related note, there's no chance in hell a HAMBer would've done this- HAMBers are all to focused about actual speed, horsepower, and usability to care about looks, at least to the degree of putting in fake fenderwalls.
The headers are LAME I agree, as for the battery local. we put ours just behind the passangers side rear tire up in the quarter. Works like a dream and so far no one has figured out where it is.
that S/D I posted belongs to my boss.. we have added a 383 an overdrive transmission, vintage air, power steering and the disc are next. Its just money and that car is large enough to hold all the dollars you can throw at it.
I would take the car in a heartbeat.... and I would drive it all the way home ...... Then take that***** off of it....
Especially if it could be had for less than 20K. (And no/very little rust, all the trim there, etc., etc.)
