How much does it hang? I was looking for something thats pretty tucked up tight with the engine.. Im at 2 inners and stock exhaust seems to be OK for now

Heres a better shot of the profile. If you look across to the drivers side
you can see it does tuck up good. At the trans end of the motor the motor mount is lower than the pipes. Its up farther than a header would be at apron as well.

Please tell me you aren't lifting the car up by the engine, but were just holding the engine up during an install???

Thats correct, i took this photo after reinstaling the motor.
The car is on jack stands/ ramps.

Is there anyway you can get a shot from the back of the car from the ground? I am interested but I'm trying to figure out what would drag. thanks mang - Kyle

This car is lowered 2 clicks in the rear. Best of all nothing to catch on speed bumps.

Cool Washoe County vintage plate too. Legal to run?

Sun Jul 06, 2008 9:16 pm

Its from white pine county. Not legal. I tryed to get a personalized plate with these numbers, but no dice.

Ah yes, back then Washoe was W#####. I'm surprised the White Pine had 1500 cars to register! :)

I've got a few sets of Churchill and Ormsby county plates along with amateur radio plates from the same era. If I ever move back to the state I might consider using them but for now they are good garage decor.

2 gas tanks, or is the upper one just for looks?
Also didn't you say you were making side windows for it as well?
Any pics of that?

Looks good. Wish i could have checked it out more at the Classic

The gas tank was going to be the barrel tank, but that would have only been maybe 5 gallons. So i left the 65 tank under the barrel cut in half.
Thats hollywood.
