Very impressive.  You've mixed a  creative, almost artsy effect with good old hot rod ingenuity.
How about one of those late model hi po Chevy sixes for go power?
About 260 hp stock???
Let's see more.

Thank You very much zzebby

Sorry but my SB6 (that's Stove Bolt Six) was siezed junk, and being 36-yo I wanted a little more GO-GO then 6 corn-poppers

But nothing DBPSC "dragster-billet-prostreet-crazy"

So a V8 was the plan built to look Old Skool as much as possible..


Let me explain the engine details etc and why I like FREE...
(dont we all?)

A:
No job last 2 years from major car accident leaving me with shattered lower left leg..., Mostly carried into a wheelchair in the garage all winter working on small parts.. then carried back in at the end of the day...

B:
Neighbor cutting up 86' Monte Carlo T-topper with running 305, Runs good but of course soft cam out back caused failure, meaning its FREE
Same car had 10-Bolt POSI rearend, Also FREE

C:
Friend on my Chevy list sends me a tri-power intake msnifold
(holds 2-bbl Rochesters big and small bore) FREE

D:
TH-350 Short tail from same neighbor FREE. (wont shift)I get to rebuild it...
A day or so later.. 2 others arrive from a friend FREE as parts..

Basically there is a few words you see on the 280 page website all the time..

FREE, DONATED, MADE, SCRATCH

EX:

Who Hoooo!, Just got a nice parts cleaner off the side of the road..

It had a cardboard sign on it with my favorite WORD..








FREE !

Welcome back to the RRT Rob.
Cool ride and I give you all the credit in the world for your style and approach. Making it from scratch with what's available and low-to-no-bucks is the essence of rodding.
Quoteing from somebody's signature ( on one of the other boards I think) DON'T BILLET, BUILD IT.

PeterR is full of sage advice. The words of wisdom he's given me have been excellent but often take some time to digest. He's from "Downunder" so some of the references and phrases are a little foriegn to our ears. How many of us are familiar with the suspension of a Citroen DS?
