    It's been a number of years since I've seen a 220Kilo speedometer and it looks pretty nice. I guess I'm more used to the dual type, showing 120/140mph and 220/240kilo.........................just having the 220 looks pretty mean for us guys in the USA.

    When you said you found a "gap" in the crank.............did you mean crack?
    Are you going to use the stock 302 block and what rods/pistons are you going to use with the stroker crank?

    after looking through all 27 pages all I can say is WOW I SO WANT those parts!
    why would you repair SOOOOOOO much rust? why wouldnt you replace it with good parts? I guess the whole car would be out of the question.
    Im fortunate that my car doesnt have any of those issues just alot of little dents especially in the 1/4 panel

    looks like youre doing a GREAT job your car will be as good if not better than new when youre done(y)

    So you have to modify the stock hinge location? Looks like it's not a simple bolt on, for a finished car? Or is it?
