    I finally got to build something for my good buddy Cato. This one was a fun one.

    What's the valve before the fuel filter? A shut off valve to prevent the tank siphoning during a filter change?

    Heavie' I like how brackets are made to emulate [at least to me] Ford forgings.

    He did. I built it and delivered it to him when I picked up my coupe from him doing the interior.

    Beautiful work and design! The more I looked, the more I was impressed with what you did.

    Like seb fontana, I too like the look of the various brackets with the rounded edges. Something you did via CNC something-or-other, or was it patience and hand work?

    Awesome work! Is the engine still a 265”?...or poked and stroked?

    There are alot of nice brackets and pieces there, were they all made or can you buy them some where? Nice work on it.

    Absolutely beautiful, I’m seeing more guys running the rear anti-sway bars.

    I’m starting the chassis for my Tudor soon. What are the benefits of running one?
