    Pete that is looking better than I could have imagined.

    Not having a car worthy of taking to the run, I'll probably stay at home and brood [​IMG]

    Glenn

    The coupes on stock rails, kiked about 24" at the rear with a 40 rear cross member, the fronts got a flat cross member reverse spring and 4" drop beam
    Rears a 37 with 40 brakes and the wishbones mounted on top of the torque tube.Front wheels are 3 x 17 rears are 4 x 16 The bodys chopped 6" channeled 5"
    The flat motor came out of a 40 truck its stock apart from the headders and the Thickstun (thanks to Vaphead for that )
    Its low but the scrub police can get "fucked" nothing hangs bellow the line

    Cheers Pete

    I tend to agree with scrubline rules, but hell, if we all wanted 100% 'safe' we'd buy a Vulvo, not build a hot rod [​IMG] [​IMG]

    I like the motor mount blocks! Did you make them yourself, or are they produced somewhere else?

    Thanks, for all the positive comments.
    Dirk, the mounts are homemade, the rubbers came from PSI in LA

    Yeah I was gonna ask too if you fabricated them yourself. They look great. They almost look like they were old jack stands. Very cool car BTW. Good luck.
