Are those really close to mustang hubcaps, or are they mustang hubcaps? Please tell me that car is fast, I love a sleeper more than anything.

My buddy had a Copper 74 Maverick with a 302 in it.
Talk about a sleeper.
It was not crazy fast, but a great sleeper!

I was cruising town one night in a 78 malibu I used to have that had what I thought at the time was a pretty stout 355. I got smoked by a fat girl in a brown 4 door nova. I was impressed.

I would like to add that hijacks are welcome on this thread, it's nothing serious.

There gt wheels and caps used on mustangs and torinos
It's got a 331 with Africa 205 heads
Forged scat crank beams forged Pistons
Running single plane with an 850 CSI carb
Solid roller in the 288 range .650 lift.
It's over 450 spins to about 7200
It's a bit much on the street

Super jealous of your cars. I had a deal worked out years ago to trade a gmc 1/2 ton step side for a 1968 falcon but then someone offered cash before I could close the deal so he sold it. Been looking for a falcon, Fairlane, galaxy 500, cyclone for years to have as my mid life crisis restoration. Twice I made the mistake of not jumping on a good deal. Someday I'll get one though I hope.

Looks good.

Thank you.

I'm looking forward to getting all the masking off and it set back on the wheels, get the furniture moved in so to speak.
I just moved to this town two years ago and have been working on this car in my free time at work. A lot of people have looked at me funny when I answered the "what color is it going to be?" Question with black. I didn't bother telling them that I used to build show cars for a living. I'm looking forward to them passing back through. News travels fast in this town (5300 people) so they undoubtedly will.

I think this forum is bat country.

Don't sound like a protester on the coast.

I'm a big HST fan. I even have a tribute tattoo to the man, the myth, and the legend on the inside of my right wrist.

Got the furniture moved in.
