Its been a long road, and i was trying not to post anymore photos 'til it was all done,

but I just couldn't resist!

from 4 decades in my great-uncle's barn,
to today, and the (somewhat abridged) in-between.

So for you enjoyment, no BS,
Just a neat little photo timeline.

still lots to do,
but hopefully the next time i'm posting,
it'll be on youtube, drivin down the road like these cars are supposed to be doin.

edit: for your viewing enjoyment...

Very Cool! Where did you get the split exhaust and the dual intake? I have a 49 Plymouth.
TIA

My first was a '51 Cranbrook Sedan. All stock except for the British Racing Green. I love those bubbley little bastards.

Heres mine. .030 over, lined decked and honed, forged aluminum pistons, reground cam ( .530 of lift and 236 degrees of duration ) shaved head (9.5 -1) offy twin carb with 2 hollys, and split manifolds. Gonna be fun!
