thanks ron. ive been working on this thing day and night. i wanted to fire it up this weekend but i recieved the wrong radiator. it had an outlet on the pass. side. i took it to a welding shop and had it tigged up and moved but they havent finished it yet. other than that the engine is ready to fire. i rebuilt the carb and i hope it runs ok being ive got to break in the cam. a little nervous about that. legendary shipped out the headliner, seat covers and door panels fri. gonna try to have the drivetrain done so i can start on the interior. starting to stress a little about my self imposed deadline of turkey rod run ( thanksgiving). hopefully interior goes easy. still have to buff paint as well before chrome and decals but im gonna get one of my guys to cut and buff. if youre gonna skip one step and let someone else do it thats the one. lol

 

[Ron 73]

You'll get her! legendary is a good company, ive heard nothing but good about them so i hope it all fits good, i plan on using them myself someday.. Maybe when you get her going you could give us a listen! I have a new sound system on my computer and its a blast to listen to now and ill wager im not the only one that may want to hear the ole gal! I wish you the best for time to get it done for Turkey Rod Run!!! Good luck...

got the car running, all new brakes and trans goes in forward and reverse. gotta thank my dad for helping me with the brakes. hes down here in savannah for a week and i put him to work. seats are supposed to be done late this week and carpet is gonna be here tomorrow. really would be cool if i can take my dad on its maiden voyage. still have to buy new tires but he wants me to leave the 14s on there for a little while (smokey burnouts). price of tires im cool with that.

 

[Ron 73]

Sounds like your getting ahead, Good luck, it would be nice to be able to take your dad out on the maiden voyage! Hope you and he have some real fun with those 14 inch tires, oh, the smell of burnt rubber with the sound of the power plant!

 

[jeff ashley]

Got it running, brakes and glass. I pulled it outside and washed it today. Seats should be done friday. Carpet came in today too. Hope for a ride by weekend.

Got the wheels and tires on to check fitment. I like it. I know theyre 17s but at least I bought a fat tire. I got the exhaust on too. I used magnaflows it sounds great. I found out im missing the park lamps that go in the front bumper, can someone please help me find some. I bought new lenses so they arent important just need the housings. Thanks in advance.
