Eddie. I've BEEN sleeping on it for almost two years now!! That's why
the car is still apart/401 is ALL machined but NOT assembled yet!

primer/repair behind the wheel openings/add the cowl hood/9"
rear..etc. That way i would NOT cringe at slicing the floor pans for
the subframe connectors!! WHAT about sliding the 360 i have into the
Green car /installing the stock hood,stock rearend,and making it look
like a factory V8 car?? Would NOT try to LIE to anyone, just a little
more fun? CONFUSED more now.....Joe-- In
