That intake is badass! Scoops side by side has the Mad Max look. Deffinately cool and have been following this build at the shop.

What a great looking car. Just wondering what size the wheels and tires are front and back and are those Cragar mags?
Also mentioned a "speedway" front suspension, meaning purchased from Speedway or something else?

new pictures! went for a ride in this mean machine and it was a BLAST!!
car pulls sooooo hard and just is soooo smooth its unreal, can not wait to see it all painted and at the local drag strip. This car will be doing wheelies with the owner behind it at the dragstrip, he built a toy to drive, not a show cat, and the ride today proved that to me!! enjoy and will post the video of the ride and donut that we did today!!!!

Is the car in FLORIDA. I'll be attending the NHRA GATOR NATIONALS in Gainesville the rest of this week. Then we we will be traveling all over the state the next 2 months before heading north. Would certainly like to get an eye ball on the car if at all possible.

Closest we will be is Bradenton right after Easter for 2 weeks. We tow our SUV behind the motor home so could make a day trip to see the car. I'll drop you a line when we get settled in Bradenton and we will see what his schedule is.

you have to upload to YouTube and link here, that's how I do it. FordPinto doesn't have a direct way to host the video.

bbobcat75 · « **Reply #51 on:** April 11, 2012, 04:35:40 PM »

thanks for the info on the youtube video stuff.
