    Got it ****oned up over the pas couple days and drove it for the first time to get exhaust today. It has ran flawlessly, I am very pleased with how it performs!! I also lowered the front a little. I want to raise the back end just a little bit and it should be done. Also wanna paint the wheels a different color.
    Overall the swap from 4 banger to v8 was pretty strait forward, but made a HUGE difference! It's a 1934 engine with a Winfield cam, PM7 with two 97's, headers and dual exhaust. Stock otherwise with a crab distributor. ****** is a 37-38 with helical gears. Hard to believe I bough this ol heap just three months ago. See y'all on the E vs W reliability run!!!!

    Raise it in the rear? What, is this one of the signs of the apocalypse? It looks dynamite now and it'll look even better when you lift the rear. I dig the front stance.

    I'd definitely be proud as hell to drive that baby, and I'd even throw the spare back on the fender...utilitarian, yet just enough hot rod in it to make it cool as hell...
     
  17. Congratulations on getting another project on the road! You make it look way, way, way to easy.

    As for the wheel color what about Gull Gray or Folkstone Gray or maybe a flattened cooper like TMoney's truck
