Hugh Motor Bob and what a beautiful car. Is it a savoy by any chance? I love the paint, absolutely beautifuly suttle and low key with that hugh engine! What a classic Bob, very well done so far.

This is the project I have been helping on, a 440 in a duster is a little bit of a shoe horn job I found out. Got to love them Mopars!!

Bob alot of iron in the bay . That will be a eye squinter to drive at full throttle. I look at the galleries every now and then to see if there has been updats on builds.

Thanks for the kind words Tony. No, this one is a 65 Coronet, two door sedan being done to resemble an A990 drag car. I also like the 440. If you look in my gallery you'll see the '64 Savoy sedan I used to own that had a built 440 in it, ironically the same color as this one. Also, they both started life as slant six/auto cars.

I just thought I'd post a pic of the project that I've just finished.

That looks VERY good Walt!

Thats one nice truck there!!!!!!!!That looks slick.....

volksrod,
I agree, it's an awsome truck. I happened upon your website with all the build pictures, very impressive. I will be shooting for a similar look with my A sedan, 31 grille shell, enclosed hood sides, low, chopped. Very clean lines.

Very cool! How about a few engine/interior shots?

That is - after you finish the Mustang??

Here's Walt's site, enjoy; http://www.walts.info/truck_home.htm

nice.............

Wow, I feel like my truck is a grade school project compared to this. Absolutely stunning craftsmanship, this thing is far out!

I never thought of the volkswagon as much more than sand buggy donors or baja rigs ,....untill I saw the bug that they did That thing gave me a new outlook on bugs!!!

Arrowhead you building a stang also . Getting one of mine back in the groove after sitting 7 yrs here .

Rod thats one sweet truck . I like the look you finished it out with .

Dart project is on hold for a couple weeks, my everyday driver (72 Elcamino) took a dump and it's engine time. Soooo..........HeHeHe! I hate it when that happens, I have been looking for an excuse to put a stroker in my 48 and now I have one. I am going to pull the engine out of my 48 and put it in the El Camino. I will then take the 350 from the El Camino and have it made into a 383 and put that in my street rod!! I love new motors! They are sooo much fun arn't they!!
I found a set of double hump heads all redone and ported and polished with titanium valves and high rpm springs and screw in studs for $400.00. I don't know if I did well or not but they will work for me. They will go on the 383 along with my Air gap and my little holley single feed/Vac sec. That may not be enough carb? How big of cam should I use?
