Got everything mocked up, engine placement etc. Pulled the engine/tranny back out to finish up brake/gas lines, shifter placement etc. It will basically putting pieces of a puzzle together going forward & I've mapped out the next few weeks & fortunately the weather has been cooperating, today started out at 44 & got up to 72! I actually broke out into a sweat... in January! Lonestar Round Up is in 15 weeks so that should work out!

These cars are unusual but cool. Not odd. You are making it cooler.

Oh yeah... they're odd but also... cheap! Haha! [ddd

Good day in the shop today & making progress... it's starting to fall into place! I forgot to mention... I cut 1 1/2 coils off the front springs! It also has hi-jacckers so getting a good stance is gonna be easy!

IIRC, Rambler used a 5x4.5" pattern, same as small Ford. A little harder to find decent wheels than for the bellybutton Chevys.

I'm thinking a set of light gray center Torque Thrusts would look great on there. Just don't get those God awful curved spoke Torque Thrust II's.:eek:

Bama, it has a Ford 9" rear end & the previous owner installed front disk brakes that I think are Ford. Definitely want some Torque Thrust II's!

Busy right now running gas & fuel lines, never fun but it has to be done. I should be stabbing the motor/tranny back in for the last time this coming week & things should really pick up from there... fingers crossed!!!

TTII’s are the curved spokes. You want TTO, Torque Thrust Original, like I have.

Can’t wait to the see a Roadkill type burnout![ddd[ddd[ddd
 
Got all brake lines run & tightened up, bleeding master next! Hope to stab the engine/tranny over the weekend or early next! Wiring next!
