Congrats on a really cool looking car - I just drool over AV8s, especially full fendered ones! Miles of smiles to ya!

To answer RalphM and JSeery,
You can see several engine pictures in my album, just click on my avitar and look in the album. Engine is a 255 Merc 0.030 over, ported and blended intake and exhaust, Schneider 270F/365 lift cam, LZ springs, Offy 2x2 / Holley 94's, Mallory YL distributor, Edlebrock heads, and my homemade headers. Transmission is a 39, with a 40 rear end, wlth 48 pedal/master cylinder assembly.

Congratulation, really it gives a good feeling when you do something of your own.

When anyone says Hot Rod that's the exact picture that pop's in my mind. That looks very nice, congratulations.

Looks like you'll have a lot of fun, when it's on the road, great job.

Bob/Ohio · 09-03-2016, 06:30 PM

Thanks again to all for the replys! My wife took a picture of me taking a little blast down the street. The flathead pulls real nice, going through the gears.

Great job! It only took me eight years to complete mine! Of course I started by building the frame!

funrunr · 09-04-2016, 09:23 PM

What a great looking coupe, I really like how the tires fill the fender opening.
Enjoy, you earned it.
