helps fuel milage. don't you know, the lighter the car, the gas milage goes up.

went and pulled a bunch of the wood out today. will replace it with square tubeing. took all the nuts, bolts and rivets 0ff the firewall to help smooth it off and look better.

yup. l had tony my welding guy put in 3 more braces to hande the torque and 400 hp of this motor. will be cutting about 10'' out of the back doors to achieve that two door sedan look

my truck has a 400 hp 396 in it and weighs 4000 lbs, the 33 sedan should be about 2800 lbs,,,,,,,should be a fun ride.

for the tranny the 700r4 should be ok and with a set of 3:25's it should do fairly decent on milage and a buttkickin' machine.

Sounds like a pretty interesting project.

cut the body to day, took out only 7'' because the chassis l am using was built for a differant kind of car. to get the body to fit correctly, that was all we could safely take out . will finish welding up the body tomarrow or the next day. soon after the welding on the main body is done, we will fill in where the doors were. :new pics in gallery
