Great looking car! You have done an excellent job.

I went to high school in Wahiawa and the cars on the island always looked great. A friend of mine had a Dart Swinger that we used to run around the island in.

Thanks guys for the encouragement. This is my first restore and it has been an expensive journey and still a fortune to go.

A very nice car you got, it´s project like this that helps me to get out in the garage and work on my car.
You will get loads of chicks when it hits the streets:sunny:

As you can see it is currently on the Dyno, so I am just waiting to here the numbers. He is estimated about 425-450. Just a real nice street motor if you know what I mean.

 

[RRGTX72]

Well got the dyno numbers today! 500 ft lbs of torque and 458 HP at 3600 rpm. Not too shabby huh? Can't wait until I get in a couple of weeks and get that bad boy in the car. Thanks for the encouragement.

Grats on the Dyno #rs-That thing is going to be a peppy car -for sure

Looks great. Wish mine was as solid as yours, keep up the good work.

 

[RRGTX72]

Well motor and transmission is finally in. Here is what she looks like now. Sure could use some pics of how the Alternator, Power Steering Pump, and A/C Compressor hooks up to it.

 

[William]

That looks great!!

 

[RRGTX72]

Moving along and making some progress!
