Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
Uhm.....chad i lost the plate on purpose....lol.....the engine is mounted way to far back to use the cross member...and the front plate was a pain in the rear cover so to speak...As for the cowl hood.....well we got the big guns working on that now...I dropped off a couple of hoods for him to start with and he came up with a couple of killer ideas that i can wait to see. I am going to hold off posting anything about the hood for awhile till we see how things pan out....but lots of other pictures soon

hey that looks real good, both of them do!! i have a good idea what color i'll be painting mine when i get to that point! the wife likes the windveil blue, the light blue f**d mustang color looks real good! i told her i like the nassau corvette blue or light blue metallic! but we're going to go with the F**D color!! Sorry i know its a F**D on a CHEVY site but just trying to show you the color incase you didn't know the color!!
|
Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
All you have to do is have the color mixed and tell them you want to add 2 drops of the blue base....and it's no longer the other word color....it's a custome color....just saying...lol....help me sleep at night
|
Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
Sooooooo anyone just happen to have a set of aluminum big block chevy heads that are good to go ....with the big chambers ?......and uhm....a complete blower.....or a mini blower....It's too early to ask santa....to late for the easter bunny...
|
Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
I like where this is going...
I used an old big block trans cross member on mine, but a fabricated one may be in the future, and yours has a nice design. Keep the pics coming. |

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
Nothing but nothing say's loving .....like a 12 bolt....I completly dig that 12 bolt housing.
|
Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
Man, your long box looks awesome! Your pro streeter is so bad azz with a big block, and I love the engine set that far back. Keep posting these pics, it's looking great! PS I hope your 12 bolt lives. :lol:
|
Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
12 bolt should be just fine, there's guys running low 10's with them on here.
|
Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
I wanted to use a 12 bolt because no one does....it's got a spool and axel treatment it's going to be fine.

Go big or go home "....lol...I just really like what i have going on with the truck right now and i would like to kick it up one more notch. But we will see how it goes, if i find something great if i don't thats okay too. |
Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
hey, that looks good! did you narrow the rearend? i've got a mini spool in mine with 3.73 gears and am going to trade it out for a true locker posi, since i'm going to drive it everyday and spools aren't good for cornering! what all have you done to the rearend??
