Hey Dave,
Make sure the finished photo gets here too. On the hunt for a 64' Dodge 300 2dr sedan right now. One lead for sure...not sure on condition yet. Found tons of Polaras but I don't want a hardtop. Finally a place to drop the 440 in...and listen to the Jackson gear drive whine away. Old School is still cool. You'll need to to a video clip on the first time you light it. Later eh...Brian.

If you ever see a photo of a Firedome on a stand and compare it to a photo of a Flathead with ARDUN heads on a stand, you'll see what I mena.

Hilarious!

The yellow box is an AC Napa Gon somebody dragged out of their barn and dropped off.
I won't put it on the rr, so it sits in the garage.

I note the yellow parts box shown in the picture! It isn't fueled with sauerkraut!

It's a rice burner!

That's very nice and all, but how are you going to keep it on the rails?
