Looking good![cl[cl
Love that cool building too, how old is it?

 

[CORPO]

Lookin good, what sort of ground clearance do you have? by time you get the rest of the weight on there might be too low... unless you are planning on bigger tires..

Very cool building...

 

[IH55r-110]

the back has an inch of clearance but it has air shocks that will lift the back the front has 6 1/2 but when all it said and done it will be 4 inches off the ground

 

[IH55r-110]

oh and the building is an old fire station and it was built in 1834 i believ, we have a shop in the first floor and then our house on the second

Nice Job man......

Love the mounts..... gotta love them holes... good work...

 

[Tim...Ok]

that caddy should make it alot more fun than the IH 6 banger would have [cl[cl

 

[IH55r-110]

okay back working on it again and got the steering in and radiator in, we shortend the stearing column 11 inches to fit without hitting the block and let me know what you think of my johnson intake scoop.... and the inline six intake is something my dad did for a friend he wants to know what you think

 

[Snake Farm]

Nice to see you back on the 'Binder' [cl[cl The Johnson scoop is way cool!
And that intake set up is some sweet looking work.
