    ...when it was channeled an even 6 inches to the bottom of the frame and it had a '55 Cadillac 331 OHV with 4x2...
    Brandon @ Mullins Chain Drive is handling it right now.

    Thanks guys! Yeah I'm really excited about it.
    Oh and it's getting a manual transmission too...naturally.
    ...maybe even a 4-71 blower with 4 strombergs...

    I would have a hard time changing it back when it looks like this. However, I think it'll be rad being back to the original (so to speak) configuration especially with a CadV8 in front of the firewall.

    Hard to believe you could improve this car, it looks killer. But it sounds like it's going to be even better with the direction you are taking it!! Please post progress pics!!

    I'm blessed to have such talented friends.
    Thanks to Keith Weesner for the sketch of how it will look when it's finished.
    The blower and 4 Strombergs on the '55 Cad motor looks too good not too run.

    Can't wait to see it like that.

    i hope you can find those not-so-wide whites. They look so perfect with the chromed steelies.

    haha...that was a joke.
    No...don't channel it or kick the rear of the frame up...
    we would be Twinzzies if you did.
