    Even though this shot is photoshopped, my bucket is nearly done. Its at the trimmer now, and my WWW slicks and front firestones showed up yesterday. It will run straight open pipes off the heads, moon chrome air filters, old Cal custom finned alloy valve covers, and black steelies. Question is, should I whack a straight axle up front??????

    Thanks in advance for your opinions.

    I wouldn't, but it is your car so go ahead. Hell, you can change it back.

    Now a 40 ford coupe w/ a 427 side oiler would me a great straight axle g***er.

  10. looks completely right ,just the way it is , a chromed I beam is way cooler than a nose bleed stance in a car like that-JMO

    If you run zoomies, an empty grille shell, moon tank, wrinkle walls on Halibrands out back with twelve spokers up front, a driver cage and a 'chute...yes!

    If not, keep it like it is! [​IMG]
