    Well I figure that if the interior is half as nice as the exterior, it’s destined to be a winner and if Mom is happy. It’s all good. Post the pic’s so we can all do the ooh&ahh thing. Seriously, that’s a great looking ride. Drive with pride. Great job Al.

    Haha ... You must be ready to file your taxes. :) I'm sure you meant IFS, which is from a Mustang. The rear suspension is stock leaf spring with traction bars. I put in a Ford posi rear and 3.50 gears. The old Corvette motor went bad (valves and lifters) so I bought a new long block and had the 700r4 trans rebuilt. I'll post photos of the interior when it's finished. I just got a new 40 Ford style steering wheel from Southern Rods, and I had planned to paint it gold and white, but it looks so good black that I may just leave it be.

    Good Luck with your project!

    Oh - the truck in the background is my friend Eli's daily driver (41 pickup). The car is in his shop and he is installing the motor for me.

    If all goes well and we don't break anymore parts :rolleyes: ( I just had to get a new window slider kit ) I expect to be at York for the Nats East. I always go to Syracuse in July and Macungie in August also.
    ....It should stop snowing by then !!
