Re: Project '57 2WD

Truck is aligned. all i'm waiting on now is an air filter. Runs really good. handles well, but needs a sway bar. What are yall putting on a mustang II clip for a sway bar??

the 5.3 is a screamer. Doesn't quite live up to all the hype i made it up to be in my head, but its still a great motor. Dad says its "scary"... (but i think hes just old...) The ladder bars really hook it well. tires spin a little bit off the line but then it hooks and your gone. it is not squirly, tracks very straight. it does not have the low end torque of my '38 with the lt1 vette motor. i do believe my chrysler will out run it. Dad and i will get out on the road one day and get back to yall on that.

All and all it will be a great cruiser. My girlfriend has a 2010 v6 mustang, and this will out run it. if your running a 5.3 challenge a new v8 muscle car at your own risk. i've hauled it to town 3 times this last week and every time i stopped somewhere someone (usually 3 to 5 or more) people would ask me about it and compliment it. Seems to attract more attenetion than when it was 4x4. i'm ready to be driving it instead of working on it for sure.
