    Just read this thread all the way through. Cool stuff for sure! Your new motor looks great and the Fenton manifold surprised me with how well it polished out. Wish I'd have caught your thread "way back when", I could have photoshopped different wheels and stances for you. The offer still stands if you have ideas for a different look. Eli
     
  12. Man that's cool!

    I'd forgot about this build after I first saw the original posts about it. I'm subscribed now!! You and your Dad have really done a great job here. I LOVE IT!!!!! I'd kill for a 37-38 Chevy coupe. That 261 looks great and I can't belive how well the Fenton shined up!! This is what it's all about!!
