she's on her way!
« on: March 16, 2010 - 09:49:16 PM »
well, after something in the neighborhood of 6months, my 1st a-body in 30years is on her way! Although she may not quite be the '68 - 383 (yes it was a real one) I blew up in the early 80's, she will be just fine. I can honestly say, I am rather excited!

This may be blasphemy, but I don't think there is a better Mopar body style for an all out Pro Street look car.  Full tubs, fat fat tires almost touching in the back, nose down and total bad@$$, it doesn't get much better than that.  Kind of Mopar's 55 Chevy to my eye, and the fact that they are light cars that properly set up can spank almost anything else on the road, there more than just looks to this combo.

I'm not saying that's what you should do to yours, nor that I could bring myself to do this to it if it were mine, just saying they don't get any badder....
