The car was a botched hot rod project, so I have been spending most of my time un-doing what the previous owner(s) have done. I bought it off the internet a few years ago was originally told it was a straight rust-free car. When it arrived it was clear there was bondo work and the engine that was in it was smoked due to a carb that leaked enough gas to fill the crankcase. Floor was galvanized flashing pop-rivetted to a 1x1 frame. Ugly. I got burned, and was stuck making the best of it. After an assesment of work, that's when I decided to change my game plan on go gasser.
unfortunately I don't have many fantastic pictures. I've had it mocked up and tore down so many times, that it constantly evolves a little differently each time. He's a few not so good ones....
This was a mock-up when I was trying to choose tire heights.....I didn't use those rear tires. I also dropped the front about 1.5".

Got a chance to take a few more pictures...
I settled on a victor Jr. intake and some old edelbrock VCs w/ offy breathers.
Now focusing my attention to constructing the tilt nose. It's a big heavy steel thing with lots of panels and places to be crooked, so it's going to be quite the undertaking.
