    Dave, how the heck are ya man?!

    Yes, I completely redid the rear of the chop...got rid of the pancake roofline and moved the rear glass forward and "up", extended the catwalk, and pushed the crown of the roof up in the area directly above the quarter windows. It was bugging me for years, and I finally got around to fixing it last August.

    Thanks for the compliments...it means a lot!

    I really like the chop on your box, I chopped mine 4 inch all the way around, that was 17 years ago, now Im seeing 4front and 6inch on the rear, I just dont want to start over again, yer looking good, cant wait to see it finished.

    Here are two- the first is how I am running it now: reground cam, lightened flywheel, chrysler mechanical distributor, ported intake and block, header, weber two barrel, t5 mustang trans with s10 tailhousing etc...
    the second pic is with a knudsen triple intake ..I am adapting a trio of solex carbs from a volvo boat engine for it soon. However, I hope it doesnt hurt the mileage too bad- I recently have been getting in excess of 25mpg on the highway (chugging along in overdrive of course)!!!!!!
