"It's ALIVE!, It's ALIVE!" You don't need bigger brakes, you need an anchor! Hey, quick question: What battery holder is that you've used mounted to the frame? I bought a drop-down from Summit and it doesn't quite fit.

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
OH WOW that sounds amazing I love the idle. There will be no question at a traffic light that you have some ponies under the hood.

I just got off a us military surplus equipment site, they have drogue chutes for B-52's to slow down, you know the "BUFF" the big ugly fat ferrr, they were only $10.00 your going to need at least two (2) for the big beast. Just thought you might like to know.  Nutter than ever Case Best of luck on the search for a place to hang your hat or chutes!!!!!

Home Sweet Home
Well we found a home and it looks to be going through. I can see why so many people are homeless nowadays as it really is quite a CHORE to buy a home!!!! with all the regulations and paaperwork and stuff that has to be done.... But I guess most people just use CASH!!!!
 Its a bigger home 2600 SF on only 3/4 acre that will suit me just fine, ----- I dont really need a 5000 SQ FT - T R U M P sign in my back 40 all year around anymore.... like at the old house.... lol Its on a private drive with only 2 other homes on it, has a pool, a nice big yard for the grandkids with a fort already built!~, a garden area for the wife, and a somewhat large garage for me to play in... Ill have to add a bit more space to it, but there is room to grow it. So God has shown us where we are going - and hopefully has blessed this new choice we have made. Thanks for your prayers!

Got the Cab just about ready to go back onto the chassis, still messing with that firewall before I put it on one last time. The bed is ready now to go on but the cab has to go first. Body guy didnt touch the fenders in 3 weeks that he had them so they are not done either, its just gonna go together as a rat rod for now I guess.... will have to do the the body stuff in another lifetime!

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
Well got the firewall painted and then the cab on and mounted. Now ready to start the next step of finishing the interior, then wiring, steering and making it into a roller to deliver to the tire/wheel shop and get those BIG FAT TIRES mounted and fitted to the new wheels. Fronts too! --- The headers are going to have to be custom built around the tire/wheel combo in the front. Not much real estate in those wheel wells.
Heres where we are now:

Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build
Crapper's those tires are just beautiful, nice.
The engine bay swallows up the engine quite nice too. Keep at it. Mudman.
