Very cool!!
Gather some parts while you enjoy that thing, shine it up down the road, could be worth a few bucks. Best of luck with it.

Kartman, great car and thank you for saving my sanity - been looking for that kind of wheel for a while with no success. Any mods necessary or did they bolt on?

kartman24

thanks michael, as far as the wheels, i am running all stock brakes, i lowered the car 3" in the front and 2" in the rear and i bolted the wheels right on , no mods at all and there are no rubs or any issues at all. i do get lots of compliments on them though.

Rusty?Maybe.Junk?No.And as far as the engine is concerned,it could have a Briggs and Stratton in it.As long as is goes down the road,who cares.I have a SBC in one of my olds,I get some crap from some people,but hey it's mine,it goes and it's MUCH easier to work on than the wife's 330 Olds,which still ain't right.
