    So................is the car going to be mostly a street car and a little drag racing? I can tell you from limited experience, (a straight axle in my 48 Chevy with very healthy 327[for back in 69/70] and my Model A Coupe[which only had 315hp but only 2200lbs), and for twisty roads they just suck..........for straight line performance they are great..............................IMHO

    Started and moved the 75 Maverick.
    Did some painting on the 75 today. Repainted the rear panel satin black ( didn't like the flat black I did before ).
    Painted the grill off the 71 parts car.
    Painted the black part of some old Mag. 500's that are going on the 75.

    And had a HUGE BALL of painters tape at the end of the day. lol

    :yahoo:I got my Champion radiator today!!!!!!!!!!!
    It fits pretty good, at least the holes on the radiator line up with my core support................just need to trim maybe 1/8 to 1/4" off my front crossmember and it will slide down where it needs to be, and this a 4 core radiator...............now I just need the shroud and fan.
