Re: new guy

i am probably leaving the drivetrain all stock. 305/th350 /10 bolt rear.not real concerned about how fast it can go but rather how it looks going down the road.as far as frame goes only mod is going to be c notch for rear and the airide.i got a new idea. see what you guys think.iam getting rid of my heater core and all ajoining parts.(no roof don't need heat)i was going to cut the firewall out where the heater core was and build a battery box into the firewall leaving only the front of the battery showing.
