Thanks for the words of encuragement folks. The car is a bit ugly now with the quarters off but as soon as it is painted I will post pics. The engine will have Ross pistons, eagle rods, 69 440 4 spd crank, Indy EZs, Lunati solid cam, Holley 950 Street Dom manifold. Yes we are lucky to have Chryco here. NZ440R/T - I am originally from Taupiri in the North Island. Where are you located? It may nit be impossible but wife and I could think about shipping the car down and using it in kiwi for a while. I am a dual citizen.
