thanks for all the comments! unforunately i made a bad discover in that the slicks wont fit in the fenders with out some crazy mods to the rear end so i decided to make a bad ass street car instead

started on the body now just trying to smooth everything out

Looking really good. Can't wait to see where this goes! I'm following this thread!

Very cool! How did you get the Blower fitted to that Flathead engine. I had bit problems with mine, and I had to do new intake manifold, which wasn't very simple.

[MoparOrNoCar94]

I used the intake that came with the blower, it was out of a AMT performance parts pack, took a little bit of work to get it lined up
