COMET CENTRAL

It will clear just fine once I recess the firewall and move the motor back a few inches. I had a straight axle Falcon that the motor was back 10 inches. It's just metal and it can be cut and put back together again. I had planned on cleaning up the firewall anyways. Cool,now that I've read your bui...

Happy about 2/3 things after reading your first post. I'm not an altered wheel base fan so there's that but I believe these cars were built to be modded so looking forward to following your build. To read someone sarcastically say at 74 "this will be my last build I promise" is exciting!

Cool motor but you could have trouble getting that black thing(water pump?) on the front of the motor in the car.

Well enjoy following your build!

Street tires or slicks

I ran a 351C, 4 speed 456 rear gear on wrinkles with 0 strengthening to the car but it shook it pretty good on 4-5k launches at the track.

Will enjoy following!
Like the fake Boss idea!

Welcome back!

Check with custom wheel shops and fellow racers for leads. You know me ,Id throw those suckers on the floor face down on a piece of...

Don't have any pics at the moment but pretty sure the cable in mine came out the back of the toe board brace(name torque box?). I as well have a foot pedal Ebrake now.

Idaho plate but being listed as being in Granite Falls WA. just about on the coast.
That would make for registration problems up here, is going across state lines easier south of the 49th.
I didn't go through the ad, maybe the seller is in Idaho.
