Really sad to see it go but it went to an older guy that collects. So it's being taken care of.

All righty then... thanks to all of you guys jumping in here with me, I was beginning to feel all alone in this "modern" world. Well, I thought I'd try to get some pictures up, but my camera and my computer aren't on speaking terms right now. So, I'll cheat a little bit and try to get my point across... This is NOT my car, but this is the same model that I am starting with. (I wish mine looked this good!)

...and although this is a Comet (same basic car, with slightly different adornments and badges)... this the concept that I'm shooting for!


And, I found this link http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...5146&showall=1 to a build-up of a Chevy II gasser, or a "street freak" as he liked to call it. It is a llooonnngggg read, but it's got lots of good quality pictures of the Jeep Cherokee front axle install I was contemplating! I'll try to get some good pictures of my car and post 'em as progress happens!

Sorry for the hi-jacking of your thread. I can't wait to see some pics rolling in of your progress. That Comet is badazz but I think I liked the Nova setup better.

That is probably my second most desired vehicle there, first though would be a 69 Boss 429, but I missed my chance at that when I was in high school when someone we knew sold BOTH of the ones he owned for about $8000 each. Oh how sad to be a poor high school kid when you find a deal like that

I do want to see how the Falcon turns out. A friend in high school had one we called Super Falcon, it was a 2dr about that same model, but was full tubbed with a 428 in it. Another guy near us had an MG Midget with a 340/dual quad tunnel ram, could barely see around the intake to drive it lol. I really miss the old school hot rodding these days too.

Mikes car had the same hood as the one in the pic and a rear spoiler .
