Not to step on anyone's toes, but....it's like God FORBID anyone should ever cut something up...lol, it takes all kinds, that's what makes this hobby fun...at least a hogged fenderwell is easier to replace/repair than those 55 gallon tubs from a pro-streeter :O been thinking of doing this, <br> but still not sure....I think the inline six with fenderwell headers (hrm...did they ever make those for a 6? may have to make my own...) on only one side would be kind of disturbing and evil and offensive...anyone got a set for a 230-250-292? I bet I can find a way to make it turn that monster tire
HOLY SHIT! that 69 Stang vid was me in 1979!!!!!!!"Dude I am so wasted!!!" Car looks perfect! Now you need ladders and floaters to make it hook up at the track, (or Telegraph road!) And I will keep my eyes open for an underdash Realistic 8 track player, The Who or Zeppelin, Man! Don't forget the other sticker: " If you value your life as much as I value this car DON'T FUCK WITH IT"! Rock on! Dave
I thought that was the 60's, the 70's was the decade "style" forgot. BTW the car in question should only ever be driven by a girl wearing a Tuxedo jacket.......... and little or nothing else!
Or maybe a dude with a tuxedo T-shirt... Man, my dad wore a Keep On Truckin' T Shirt until it rotted off of him in the 70s. I think it started red. I bet my mom burned it in 80 just to get rid of the damn thing. That and a BSA T shirt and listening to Jim Croce on the LP. Wannabe hippie...
I was born in the early 70's too.......but "grew up" in the 80's.......Pro-Street, Centerlines and pink heartbeats baby........ Did you really lust after 70's hotrods when you were 7??? You ARE weird... BTW.......paint the brake drums RED........haha!
Disco sucks... everybody remember that. It leads to coke, bad clothing and diseases that screw up promiscuity for everyone else.. Now, get yerseff some white letter Mickey Thompson Indy Profiles since they no longer make Big Boss 50s. One day the tire companys will dust off all of the cool N50 molds and make us some decent bias-plies for street freaks..... My '73 Plymouth is running 15x10 Daisy wheels... rock on. That video kicks ass....
The mismatched brands of mags is period-correct (missing center cap is a dead-on detail). I'm disappointed you have not painted the rearend housing red yet. And no Hi-jacker stickers?
SWEEEEET, had a Bud that had one witha 427, had what we called spagetti (sp) headers hanging in front of the straight axle.......... was just plain wicked lookin..
now for the opposite lock 7k wheel dangling launch pic. does that stance get any meaner. i have longed to build awb straight axled car, for the moment I am content to live vicarisouly through your vision.
My fave car of the 70's was a buddies mid 60's ChevyII in gasser form. He and I used to race down the main drag (in the snow) sideways during every snow storm. (It helpled that there was a big crown on US14 in Crystal Lake, Il) Very nice car. (one just like it I hope to inherit MANY years from now!)
Is anyone going to claim those are not nice shorts? I have a set of 14" 60 Series white letter bias plys almost like new and I'd like to find something to put them on.
Hey man I am impressed there is some real craftsmaship there and you just dont see that any more. I would suggest some fender well headers and a little fatter tire. Remember life is a narrow rearend and a big'ol pair of fat ones!! What is under the hood?
You just need the FORD decal that takes up the whole back window and don't forget to have the air-shock fill valve hanging from the license plate
That woulda been '80.....right? Don't get me wrong man......I was into 'em too, since 2.....had the t-shirts with the metalflake iron-on designs, "Heavy '57" and one with a '77 Cutlass.....hahaha! I honestly don't remember much from the 70's though.....except my Tonka's...
Man I remember that, I think I still have that picture around here somewere. Tingler the car looks great. Looks just like some of the one I use to run against. Man that was a flashback.
Hahahaha! We're just ahead of the curve man............wanna go back in time?... Visit Alaska.............I'll drive.......he he
after more review the front bumper must be rechromed or replaced with a wooden plank with lightening holes
man...y'all talkin about those glitter t-shirts are bringing back memories, I had one with a van on it, and one with the "Truckin" logo my brother in law bought a "HURST" shifter one for me when I was in Kindergarten, that was in '77. He loved cars like these, had one before he and my sister moved to Kemah, only Indian I ever saw with an afro, LOL!
The Baron VT is still ruling! Big balls chopping those rear wheel openings! Personally...I think Cragars are cool, but Keystones were always considered a step up around here. I wanted them on the Freak-conoline. Now...paint that thing rootbeer brown and/or burnt orange, with some panels, lace & flake and you'll be golden!
Lets get together, smoke a Doobie, toss some Frizbee, Find some Foxes and use this! (Root beer brown and burnt orange, And I still have it!) ".........................Don't come knockin" Damn! Just noticed the side dumps! Dave
Wow! I should remember those but I don't! Damn, I need a set! That last line in the ad put me on the floor! BWWWWWAAAHAAAA!! Dave
