If I remember right, you had a different rear in it before where your tires stuck way out, you musta changed the rear, and the ride height looks much better too! Way to go. bet it's fun to drive. Any new pics of the motor?

Cool

Cool car but,

why are the carbs sticking out of the hood? Kind a takes away the sleeper look. I wouldn't race you after seeing them.

some changes took place

The whole sleeper thing kinda got out of hand when my nephew found a tunnel ram for $100!
The rear is still a 8 1/4 from a van, I had a set of cop wheels backspaced 3" so now they are 15 x 10's wrapped with 295-50's see!
Engine pics comming soon, its out right now to fix rear main seal and cam plug leak (plus to clean it up, show season is now upon us)

great pics dude. them 295/50's are big bastards (got em on the roadrunner) but they suck in rain and snow... does it still spin em, or do the tires give you a little more grip?

Default well..... no

The TQ is a good piece. The problem I had before with the eratic idle was the tunnel ram halves were not sealing tight. Due to the bolts being loose that hold it together. And yes one went down the damn intake and trashed a valve and destroyed the seat.
But thats all fixed now and the engine is going back in (with a gallon of locktight on all bolts!)
Got to get it ready for the big rod run in Pigeon Forge TN this weekend!

A thank you to all

I would like to extend a heartfelt "Thank You" to all that have helped me make this car a reality.
Without all of your advise and critisism, this machine would be a cobbled up heap-o-$hit.
So again, thank you all, and I hope you will be as helpfull with my new project, a 67 Barracuda V8 swap.
