    The center cross-member and rear suspension both look great. I was curious what size wheels and tires are on the Sedan and the truck. Thanks

    Root canal, nice!

    My old lady works in the colon and rectal department of a hospital. I hope someday one of the doctors in there will want a hot rod and we could call it the "anal fissure".

    Is that the "Rudy" truck?

    It's hard out here for a pimp.

    Wow! That thing is going to be an animal!!!! Sweet!! Love Hemi cars, as most of you know!!

    Okay, I see something exciting with the rear suspension that I've been waiting to see and hear about.... Triangulated 4-bar with a transverse spring!! Was thinking about doing this VERY thing with my Murray build! Would like to hear more on what the thinking was behind this. I know a parallel 4-link works well (Jimmy White has proved that). Thinking that the triangulated version would work just as well, if not better because it elliminated the need for a panhard bar. Fill me in, PLEASE!!

    Awesome!

    Also... what are you going to run for a radiator behind that IH grille shell? Sucker is going to have to be short as hell! Very curious. I will be faced with the same dillemma, so I would like to hear what's up with that.
