Not much progress but some is better than none. Ive got most of the exhaust mocked up & the engine wouldnt take a lot to fire. Soon I hope...Im going for the old hot rod style look but Id be happy to just get it going...corn

Re: progress pics

Thanks guys... The shocks are doetsch tech (or however you spell it??). I may have to put a set of extenders on them though. Not for sure yet.

The aircleaner is a 10". Same thing I ran on my 65 chevelle with a 406. It ran 12's in the quarter & never griped about air. Should be enough, I hope...

Re: progress pics

Is that lowered in the back ? It looks like it is because of the angle of the rear shocks. I relocated mine (I have a 6" drop) by dremeling out the hole in the shock mount closer to the rear axel and used a front shock stud in that hole along with 1-2" front drop shocks.
