Wow! that pic of Fish Fry doing a burnout reminds me of the old funny car pics from the early sixties, and of the original Hemi Under Glass, espcially with the skinny Cragars on the front. Looking good.

Nice Big Block Bagherra, we need some specs please so we can drool some more.

This weekend. Work is getting in the way (again).

I should have the rest of the goodie box pieces put in before then though if all goes well (and I have the time). I'll keep ya posted.

Slowly but surely, the parts in my garage are becoming part of the refurbished monster.

Yup that's pretty much it..I'm going to do the whole roof white with the same big wide stripe I have now and with white rocker panels......

The Gawds are with me....the house across the street just sold and new people moved in.....He's a Bodyman and is ready willing and able to help me with the transformation.....I can almost smell the enamel now......know where I can find a straight axle?

Why did you decide to paint it? Should look real good. I like Red/White/Blue colors.

The decals cover the rust fairly well but even they're stating to blister off.

I also want to build some Fiberglass fenders, bumpers and maybe doors this winter.

Trying to cut another 150#s off it, I'm going to change pistons, cam and heads to add another 75 to 100 HP..that may get it to the low 11's....now that'll be a fast 318.....

Dang! I threw the straight axle away when I put the Cordoba front suspension in my '48 pickup!
