so, lately, i have been thinking ...
i HAVE TO put my car on scotts celette bench to get it straightened out. more likely than not, the FG bodywork will crack in the process. then there's the issue of fitting more rubber under those fenders with the 3.6L. i had no trouble spinning the 9" goodyear schlicks with the ~120HP 2056. with the 3.6L it'll be worse for sure ... so, anyone here who has made the sheridan widebody kit work for the street ??? i imagine it would take some fabbing, as the hoods are part of the panels and would have to be cut out. how about taillights and front blinkers? am i nuts?

QUOTE(wbergtho @ Mar 12 2006, 09:03 AM) Hey Howard, Your cars looks extra fat dude. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Nice car as well. Great color. Now, just a few questions: What motor? I assume a Ford small block 5.0 ltr ?? and how much HP and what trans? Sorry about my hijack people. Bill Thx, Bill. 305 SBC 30 over, Keith Black pistons, Crane cam, yada. 901, no problems to date. Color is Kenmore 'Appliance White' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Back on the off topic, if we radiused the rear wheel wells, those huge flares wouldn't need to be so huge... Think Andy's car would respond to that very well and avoid most of the glass work. |
