We need some pictures. Ken
I'm not a fan of dropping a body onto a late model chassis either. I'd rather get some 2X4 tube and weld up my own frame before doing that. Too...
Clicking on a thread here is like listening to the radio. If you don't like the song, change the channel. I don't know Gary, I've never met Gary,...
All this jabber and we still don't know anything about the car in question. Register as whatever car it is. Insure for whatever car it is. Go...
I see nothing. Ken
Do yourself a favor, and I'm talking from experience. Buy him a $500 Dodge Neon or something similar for a first car. Cause it's gonna hurt you...
What is it lately with machine shops. Everyone I know that is having machine work done is getting the run around. My buddy took his 454 out of his...
I've done some crazy shit in my lifetime, but that takes the cake. Something had to get fucked up in that move, something. Tell us, how did it go....
Sorry for your loss Ed. My dad is gone over 40 years now. Mom's gone 1 1/2. I miss them every day of my life. Ken

This is nothing without pictures. Ken
So.........what is the asking price for this rare piece of hot rod history. If the price is right there are some good useable parts there. But...
I've had my Ingersoll for about 30 -40 years now and hasn't skipped a beat. I don't use it every day though. Ken
Lets see a picture. Ken
I think it's worth the 4 grand. It's amazing what I'm reading here. Everyone is low balling it. Let me ask something. What would you ask for it...
You answered your own question. You said you ran the edelbrock till the shafts wore out and had trouble with the others. If you're comfortable...
If you went through all the trouble and expense to put a new drivetrain and air ride why wouldn't you have a proper shaft fabricated? Ken
I didn't read every post here, so someone might have said this before. A lot of cars are similar, but they're really not all the same. As far as...
I think it looks great. Ken
I've road Harleys all my life and for the last 40 or so years ran mostly straight pipes. Can't take it anymore. Last year put baffles in my 72...
