    I would have put the rear axle under the car. I love the motor . It looks sweet.

    Why would you post pics, then say "easy on the criticism"?
    Are you saying to only compliment, but do not offer an opinion that differs from your own?

    Nice work, does that steering arm off the steering box need to be that long?
    How does it steer, since it looks like you have been able to move it around.

    probably because he knows how this place can get..

    I like it..its different..and thats why i like it
     
  9. I like the front but the back is really strange. I don't know if it's body repair that went bad or a late night choice while the influence of alcohol was maxed out !! >>>>.

    Really nice job. Would look cool with about a 12" T box to hold your beer and fishing pole.

    Just going by what everyone tells me, keep the arms parallel to the ground for little or no bump steer, it steer's good pushing it around the yard.

    Nice engine choice... quick change is cool too, though I would have put it under the car. Nice project, though!! Who cares if I like how you did the rear end.

    I agree, put a bed on the back, then it'll be an extended cab pickup.
    I like the engine also, but that front header sure looks like it's going to run right into the rear one.
    Neat dash insert, what's that out of?

    Unusual and interesting. I am with the group that thinks the rear needs more of something. Pickup bed was mentioned before.... maybe a turtledeck? At any rate, it looks like a fun car.

    Great Job so far! I like the fact you put the axle behind the body. 30 years ago I built a shortened A Sedan. 24" out of the side window, 6" out of the top and 3" channel. I used the wheel wells and the body sat over the rearend, loved that car but always wished I had done it with axle out back.
