Stance is spot on! I can not wait to see this ranchero done! i like how the engine is moved back.

Here is a pic with the door on so you can get an idea of what it will look like together.

Well here are a few more pics of the car and where the engine sits, the engine is set back 6 inches from where stock would be located.
Hope you all like

Oh snap!! It looks killer.

Any chance the hood will clear your carb/air cleaner? I sure hope so.

[56pickup]

Looks killer! Great stance!

[521stroker57]

yeah the hood will clear im going to have the air come in through the vent and make a setup to use it like that .

Great stance! The engine setback looks great. Very clean and quick build so far. Can't wait to see this thing finished.

Nice work!

[fordsbyjay]

That looks really cool. When your done I'll take one chassis for my 56 Ford. lol

[zombiekiller]

Nice! I just got done getting my intake together. I used one of the Spectre plenums and a canister air filter. I'm pulling air from right next to my headlight bucket. I wish I could have gotten my stance like that.

Thanks guys. On Thursday im going to untape the wheels and put up a pic or two. @zombiekiller I think I'm going to buy a used carbon fiber nascar airbox and run it through the cowl vent. They are cheap used so that's a plus for me.
@ fordsbyjay maybe in a couple months Ill have tome to build one if you do want one lol

[521stroker57]

I wanna name this thing project race trar lol (truck+car=trar)

[521stroker57]

Untaped the wheels today since I got.back to school and took a couple picks. I may raise the rear of the car to get a little more rake. Tell me what you all think?
Thanks

[Huzzah!]

I think it looks great the way it sits.

[dusterbd13]

i cant honestly say without the front clip on the car. wait till you get it all together. either the front will have to come down a hair, or the back up a hair. hard to tell without all the weight in the car.

The way it sits right now looks pretty good, nice and level.

[car_designer]

Looks great.

[fordsbyjay]

That is just gorgeous. I love those cars and I have one on my "bucket list" of cars to own.

[521stroker57]

Well my chassis class is finished so now ill be starting on a custom interior for the ranchero and then I will be moving the car home in 3 months to finish everything up. I'll post pictures of the seats and interior that I do the custom work on also so you guys can expect some updates in a couple weeks here.
