I Got to drive it!!!

My post was lost in the meltdown so here it is again. I finished up the brakes and exhaust on Sunday. Pulled it out into the parking lot behind my house under it own power(sideways). I have alot of little stuff to do but I will definatly be at BTT50`s. I want thank 36-3window for machining my hubs to accept the buick drums. He is a great guy. In case you dont remember my progress posts, heres the specs. 454 bbc, th400 trans, 3" exhaust, 3:73 posi GM rear end, 4" drop superbell, 2x3 rect. tube frame, Channeled 3", Chopped 5 3/4, grille shell is 30`s durant, Hurst cheaters. I was going to run a old 455 pontiac but I got a killer deal on this rebuilt 454. Cant wait to get a windshield and call the insurance man

Nice work

What did you do to polish those front slotted mags? (I cant see if the back wheels are the same)

 

LOve that thing!! Keep up the good work and the posts.

 

Cool man! I was going to respond to your old post before it got deleted I do notice something about those Hursts,(my car does this as well) when you shoot pics, the rears look dinky in height compared to whatever is on the front! WTF??????????????? hahahhahahahhaah. None the less, your car looks good.

 

They are chrome steel slots I bought off this site. The rears match the front. They are not perfect but good enough for me.
