The local gas station owner must really love you.
That's not your garage... not Bill's either... Looks like someone drilled some holes in your valve covers. You might wanna get a refund on those. :LOL: :D |
Boy am I glad to see a "Hot Rod" without a small block Chevy engine for a change!
Nothing against Chevy (OK, maybe some) but there are SO many Hot Rods with one I'm just sick of seeing it! I THOUGHT Hot Rods were supposed to be different! Ernie |
My thoughts exactly Ernie. Why build another small block Chevy Rod. The market's been cornered on those. My other idea was to put a 428 FE in this thing, but the Hemi just has the "look" and sound I want. I always wanted a Hemi.
|
I can hear all the stop-light comments, already... "Hey.. that thang got a hemi?" - :LOL:
And I agree with your comments about the small block rods. I'm a SO sick and tired of seeing them. I walk up to their open hoods hoping to see something different... anything different. Bor-ing. |
p.s. When you see this thing done, you will see exactly one inch clearance in all the critical areas. You may see less in some. We have spent 4 months just rigging the motor. Today we even thought of a way to shave 1 inch in height off the air cleaner and make it look better. This one has been like a sheet of canvas, '32 Ford canvas, but canvas none the less. Keeper.

AHHHH YES - Yet another sweet ride for your garage. I love the hemi :D
What color can we expect ? Something different perhaps. How about some specs on the driveline, brakes etc. I love street rods and considered doing one instead of the Cobra. Randy |
40th anniversary Shelby blue. Most striking color (this is personal as you know) that I have seen in 18 months. Can only be appreciated in person, in the sun, even non-sun. PPG color. It is striking on a Cobra, hoping similar on this.
p.s. silver and/or gray is still my first choice based on 6 vehicles with those colors ;) |

Isn't it supposed to be..."Is that a real small block Chevy?..." |
Hey Fast Guy!! This is turning out to be a Stunning Project!! \
Now aren't you glad I talked you into the Hemi! What a cool idea! See you this weekend! |
TC,
Car looks great!! I thought you were considering a bright laser green color? Either way it is going to look sweet when finished. Concur on the non small block chevy route, it will be a real head turner at car shows. Greg |
392 ?????

TC;
This HighBoy will be the hit of the car show circuit. I too agree on the Hemi choice, as bowties in rods are a dime a dozen---and I'm guilty. Built a 33 Chev 5-window coupe a long time ago with a 350 Chev. I hope one day to own a Hemi---it may be on an engine stand in my garage, but how sweet it is just look upon!:D Keep up the good work.... BigEasy Charlie |
Rick, motor is based on a 354, stoked to 410 CID :D .

TC
You going to have two white stripes on that Cobra blue??? :LOL: :LOL: Did you get your hole punched?? |
