I can appreciate the work involved, and looks very nicely done, but it doesn't appeal to me.
That said, when I go to car shows (not often), I usually walk right by the Camaros, Mustang, Corvettes to look at cars like this...it's unique, and that's what I do like about it. |

I like it. Great color, perfect stance, wheels and tires fit the look and fill the wheelwells just right.
With that firewall set back to get the SBC to fit, it would be hard for a six footer like me to drive because my knees would be up in my armpits, but it still looks like a hoot to parade around with. Your buddy does nice work. Keep these hotrod post coming. (Do you have a picture of the steering column and pedal arrangement?)

with everything he said. Funny, but when I was looking at the before pics, I remember thinking, I hope no one notices that water pump set up. I will try harder to get you the answer to your question, same goes for the interior photos. As you can imagine, there was a lot of dipsy doodleing, getting a 350 ci in that TINY little truck. When you see it in person it's VERY VERY small. Last edited by yellowperil; 03-25-2021 at 07:31 AM.. |

Pretty sure thats an electric pump on that. Normally they are only used on strip run cars for a short time. But that is a pretty big one.
