Beautiful engine.I've gotta ask though. Why?
For some reason, part of me likes that body style. It's probably the same part of me that appreciates Grand Nationals.
I miss my Nova.......
Looks like fun. Wife had a 79 Regal that would have been a prime candidate for such a toy.
Does it have hydraulics?
Bags, homes, bags, Get with the times. Hydro's are so 20th centuryQuote:

That is the original owner who did that. I will post some pictures of what it looks like when I am done under the hood. Thanks for the offer though. I will try to remember to take pictures of all the stuff he had electrical tape on. I am so far from getting this thing on the road it is not even funny.Quote:

Me and my friends used to call it a nuclear melt down. Have you ever seen what happens when the hot wire for an amp is not on a fuse and grounds out? It is pretty nasty, I used to install stereo equipment for a business so I have seen it a lot. Like I said I did not mess with the wiring do to lack of driving and knowing I was going to go through everything. Also that hot was not hooked up and a lot of those lines are vacuum, they just look like wires cause they are different colors.Quote:

Oh, I'll bite....
What did it dyno at? [Coffee]
I've been tossing around the idea of selling the jeep, maybe the Thruxton (the magic smoke is still contained in the wires - Lucas probably had that day off when it was built) & building a nice hot rod...
What do you think it'll run, Mr. Train?

I usually do not run my cars as hard as I can so if I am happy with the first few runs I will not spray. I am running a 388 Stroker with a B&M transmission with a 3800 stall and 4.11 gears with a nice locker, and a 150 shot of NOS.Quote:

Probably the only cutless I've seen and thought "cool" in my entire life, sweet car!
Thanks for the compliment, it has taken a lot of work to get it here. I plan on having it finished in the next 2 years or so, it will make car shows here and there but I will not be happy with it until it is perfect.Quote:
