I'm going for a late 70's early 80's street machine. Maybe something a highschool kid would of had. Dad's old drag car that got turned back into a street car for his son. A little rough around the edges but still cool enough to pick up chicks. 😉  |

Don't leave me out! LoL
This should be a cool project!
I once bought a '65 Falcon that was a drag racer, and used it as a daily driver for several years!

Getting some things mocked up. I'm going to try put stuff together in bigger assembles. And then paint and detail them. Put some big shackles on it but the were really flimsy. So I drilled them and I'll pin them with some wire. I'll have to get some HiJacker air shocks. 😉    |

Thanks Guys! One thing I realized last night is that the headers that come in the kit are for a small block Chevy not a big block. I'll have to dig through my junk parts to see if I have anything that will fit, or maybe I'll try and make some. I know its a dumb detail but that would drive me crazy.  |

What should those headers look like? I may have some in the parts bin.
