Awesome!!! I can,t imagine that much power!!(I have a stock 5.0 mustang motor in my 32 and it moves along quite well) but you must be used to that power(Is that a tubed out Nova next to 32?) Great Job!! Pete

I was hoping you would post more after the tempting view in my body alignment thread. I'm usually not a real lover of the cabriolet body style, but that one could convert me.

We do need more pictures though

Sweeeeeet ride ojh. I bet that little thing will scoot down the road.

Well, the sweetie is all done. I called the owner and he let us take a ride thru town (both traffic lights) and brought the town right to a standstill. That thing is just plain ferocious, bad to the bone. We decided the sound deadening we put in the doors was very effective because we never did any anything other than the engine!
Heres a shot or two sitting outside my shop waiting for Ted to come a gather her up.

Wow, nice car.
Ken

hey ,i have a green one can't beat them, good looking

Nice! What is the saying? "Get in, sit down, shut up, and hold on!"

I got all excited when I saw Ken Thurm posting... Then I realized it was several months old.. 8-(

dang it man that is bad to the bone..........now we need a video to hear that thing running :-)

Looks awesome!!
Can't wait till Mine is done,,it'll be a '32 3 window with a 383 and 6-71 blower with about 615 hp....

An update, during the summer the little witch had a new engine with less duration cam; 700r4 and rear gear change (it cruises 1800rpm at 60-65mph); new interior and is getting a new top as we speak. The blower is still there, not to worry. It is one of the few cars i have driven where i have never really 'gotten into it', you just don't need to. It is scary powerful. The original engine (a 396) had a sleeve of all things and was tossed for a 402.
