Just got this over the weekend. Killer 468 with fogger system, Brodix heads, all good stuff. TH400 with brake, Dana rear. Going to try to make it a little more civilized....

Cool! What are the plans?

The drivetrain is pretty bulletproof, all great stuff. My immediate dislikes are the hood and trunk lid (pin on glass stuff), and the lexan side windows and rear window. Am going to put regulators and glass windows back in, along with a bolt on Harwood 4" cowl hood, and a steel trunk lid.

Sounds good. Is the motor a "streetable" setup streetable? Looks like a backhalf car...

No, not real streetable. High compression, big roller cam. Definitely isn't going to fight my '69 for seat time.

Ten-teens motor only, and has a 275 horse fogger system on it. She's a runner....

That paint scheme looks awesome. Post more pics if you get a chance; would like to see more angles.

I keep kicking around the idea of putting mine back on the street too one day. Just haven't been able to pull the trigger. One thing I think you may run into was the rear 1/4 windows. On mine the stock glass wouldn't clear the wheel tubs. So mine has lexan there, otherwise all glass. But I did modify the stock trim strip that it still fits and seals the door to the 1/4 window. I'm guessing right now, the side windows just kind of overlap right now.
