    Got the honor to do some ch***is work for Pete on his 54 Chebby Custom. Putting in a gambino Rear notch kit, amd doing some suspension relocating, adding a tri-five rearend, Motor mount, and 5 speed mount.

    Here it is when It cam to the shop, nice clean roller

    So what's up with the Dirty's cars? Anything new with the sedan? Did I see your dad's roadster in paint in some pics recently? Maybe I missed the posts. I always dig your builds and cars.
     
  17. That should yield a little extra suspension travel.
