  1. This is my latest project. This has been living in my mind for the last four years and is finally taking shape in the shop!

    I dig it, espcially since my buddy just got a 25 T he want's to build. What's the plan, you keeping it high? Your a lot farther then we are, we still gotta find a body!

    Oh my god that is cool as hell. I have a 25 T in pieces that I just bought, now I think I can see what it could look like. Bitchin'!!
     
  9. I think it will be a little lower( i hope ) when the battery a gas tank are installed ect. It's a 40 merc motor I got an old edelbrock 4 -2 and 97's. may not run the 4, but I'VE GOT SOME 2'S AND A 4BBL. i'VE BEEN TOLD THE 4BBL IS THE MOST STREETABLE. i NEED SOME tail light ideas.

    Son of Phatboy here, just thought i'd post a pic of the Merc...

    Feedback encouraged once again.

    And for some reason, i'm thinking Harley tail lights for the latest project... like the old headstone lights. Just a suggestion, I dunno...

    If it were mine, I'd run the 97's might be more of a pain to dial in, but WAY cooler than any 4 bbl ever made. For taillights I'd go with the ford stop lights, don't know the years but they repop them and they say STOP on them. Just one in the middle.

    I dig the merc, really like the scallops and of course I am a more door owner/fan, I'd add some baby moons to the front. Gold teeth, heh..

    how about some odd ball 4 bbl, like an old wcfb or 4 jet rochester?
    maybe something even odder?

    97's are wearing a little thin...and YOU guys bitch about sbc's....;)
