Thanks , and Yes ,i was real happy to get it for what i did.

As far as the 1/4 goes ?
its not specificly set up for the 1/4 but more for a street cruiser - POSER you might say ..BUT, it does have some power and with a couple minor changes , i would say High 10s low 11s on motor.

Right now it has 3.70 gears - Good if it was set up for Juice.

MAYBE , just MAYBE , i'll find out Sunday at the local strip.


Thing is , I already have a interested party for the car so i may not have it long.

I took the upholstery off the seats , Made patterns off them and started stiching.
I started thursday afternoon and spent a couple hrs and then worked on them today( friday) and was cruisin the car by 6pm.

Probably have about 6hrs total in them and $325.00 in materials.

Thanks guys , it seems to be going over good at the local cruise ins as well .
I even picked up a couple upholstery jobs from it ....LIKE I REALLY WANT TO WORK !
that just pulls time away from my toys...LOL


I've always liked the houndstooth , especially the Yellow and the Orange and may end up putting it in the 69 convertable when its time.
WONDER IF ANYONE MAKES IT IN BLUE ?
