    Yeah....good idea!


    It only had 8 miles on the NOS odometer at the Roundup. I suppose you are having problems getting it to move straight ahead! :cool:


    :drive:

    I so agree with that statement.....I am sure it ranks right there with your sprint...and pictures do it no justice at all.

    GREAT LOOKING CAR CRAIG!!!!!

    I really like your car. There is something about it. Cant put my finger on it. Is it the orange paint or the Cragers? Maybe its the traction bars. I wonder what it would look like if the bumpers were orange. In all seriousness, great job. Beautiful in and out.

    Craig ... did you ever get it dyno'd after the build? I'm curious to whether or not the factory air cleaner is restrictive enough to affect your numbers. I put a K&N filter in mine ...

    Awesome car Craig.
    Having a hard time adding more ... kinda' speechless. :D :bowdown:


    If that stock air cleaner is proving to be restriction, you could open up the back area that faces the cowl and it could only be seen if you were really looking for it. :thumbs2:

    I have only had the engine on a dyno. I have not had a chassis dyno done.

    I also have a K & N air Filter. For some reason.....my lid does not sit down all the way because of how tall the K & N filter is. There is a 1/4 inch gap all the way around. I figure it allows in more air. :D

    Mine didn't fit perfectly either ... I took a razor blade and trimmed both sides down so my lid sat flush ... there is just a small ridge that needs to be trimmed off.
