Loose

Well, I have been anxious to post the finished photos of my ride, but I guess shit happens and we never really finish. his might be as close as she gets, ready to start a new one, and get some miles on this one. Started the project almost 2 years ago, many LATE hours here in the end, I picked too many exotic components for my own good, I got what I wanted, exactly, so that is what matters. I'm sure there will be some criticism of the shit I used, so to each his own.

I started with a 4-bolt 400 SBC - 30 over - Clay Smith special grind cam which I rebuilt for the car, built a frame, bought a cab, and kept on going. Went with the TWM fuel injection mainly cuz I just wanted to drive the damn thing - not dick with it after I was done.

Tilton hanging nascar pedal set, schroeder steering gear, and bomber seats from eBay. made the supports, dash, arm rest, tach cup, and everything else you see. -cept the quickchange, got it on the bay and had it freshened up by the boys at the hotrodshop - great guys BTW. In front of that I used a Tremec TKO 5-speed.

I gotta say, I had not heard of the HAMB going into all this, but could never have gotten by without it, so many awesome topics and awesome folks, you guys kept the inspiration coming - ain't nuthin like it around!<br>
My biggest thanks have gotta go out to Mr. Rick - Man, you made me think and re-think every decision I made, had you not been around I would not be driving it. Many thanks also to the guys out at Sachse Rod Shop - I know you guys will miss Ricky, bu7an3 for not commenting on the short work days, Neil Young for the thought, and my girls & wifey most of all who put up with endless nights at the shop.<br>
