Looks like fun, but pull that little mouse motor out and put in a big ass rat motor with a big ass mooney blower on it!

I particularly wanted to do something a little more modern, but seeing as how it was mainly his money going into it, I let him make the final decision, im happy with it, with a little bit of work, its gonna be a head turner for sure

Sweet! I always wanted to do something like that. What would be the costs on a project like that?

The car itself as you see it was 18.5k, it has the power windows already inside the doors.....basically all we need to drive it are the seats and a steering column, but we're gonna put some nice touches here and there, so maybe in 2 months it should be driveable, then we'll worry about the small stuff....thanks for all the compliments, i'll keep you updated....

That's pretty cool. Looks like you picked up someone elses unfinished project. Since it's a roller, and it looks like all it needs is some interior work (and some TLC), it should come together pretty quickly.

What's the running gear ?? Chevy 350?? Rear end ??
