Thanks guys!

I really love the post cars too. Seems perfect for the pro-street look because it makes the cage a bit stealthy. You almost don't notice it. Most of all I like the cleaner appearance across the back without the rear window sails.

That's a really good looking car!

I never noticed the differences in the post vs coupe type cars before in the back. Kind of strange that they'd spend the money to make both. Cool in any case though!

Great looking car! I have to ask, what kind of seats are they? Are they covers, or custom. Thanks in advance............jeff

Thanks again for the kind comments guys.

The motor is gen IV 3963512 block, Nov '69 casting date, 2 bolt, hasn't been decked and has a CZU suffix that codes back to a '70 454 Corvette. It's .030 over, 4340 crank, 8.5:1 Sealed Power blower pistons, 1.6 roller rockers, matching 3964290 oval port heads, Crane cam. Got really lucky and scored some hard to find B&M no logo valve covers, then added Earl's PCV/breather combo. Up top is a B&M 420 (slightly larger than a 6-71) with Teflon strips, two Holley 850's from The Carb Shop, with a BDS scoop and two K&N's. Misc stuff includes Hooker headers, Flowmaster exhaust, Lokar dipsticks, Team G water pump, March alt bracket, Tilton super starter, Be Cool rad, Spal pusher, Moroso overflow.

I'm in the process of finishing the installation of a brand spankin new Mike's Ultimate 400 w/trans brake, along with one of his custom 9.5" converters. I'm still plumbing the new Perma Cool cooler, and having braided lines made.

Oh yeah, the seats... I wish I knew more, but I'm pretty sure they are some stock 60's Chevy seats that have been recovered. Kinda cool, so I kept them. You might notice that the drivers seat is boosted up about 1.5" on some round stock billet pieces so I can see over the blower. Makes it way easier for me to drive being 5'6", LOL.

It's really a weekend street car and a rolling project for me. Far from perfect, but a heck of a lot of fun to drive around!

I assume the drag chute is off the car to get repacked and the wheelie bars are getting chromed, right? ;)

Seriously, the car look really nice!
