Hello to everyone. My name is Chad and I have been into cars, rods and trucks my whole life. I have a small collection of cars, 11, most are more drag race oriented. But I must be getting old, because I just dont enjoy the whole drag car on the street thing anymore. So I have began to build 2 cars to be a little more friendly. I got really good deals on both cars, orI would be building just one.
The first is my 1972 Chevelle, I am not getting too caried away with the car at first. I got all new sheet metal, inexpensive 18x8 & 18x9.5 BOSS wheels, and built a 355 with Trickflow heads that makes at most about 425hp. I have not decided on a trans yet, and plan on adding 4 wheel discs, and an aftermarket AC/heat system.
The second one, sorry no pics, is a 1957 Ford 2 door post. I have a 351w with just a cam and intake, but I plan to add twin turbos. I already have a set of stainless turbo headers. I have a Tremec 5sp and the original 9" rear. My wheels are 20x8.5 and 20x10 supesnake wheels, They look like old Shelby wheels with knock offs. I plan to add 4 wheel discs and an aftermarket hvac system to this one as well.
Thanks for any future input or advice.
