We should have it back in one oile by march. It is chopped 8 inches and has wide whites and a crazy small block. I will look for pics. Here are some links. I will try for more.

Well I ordered the wheels
 
I ordered the Muroc wheels form Budnik and They said 6-8 weeks for the wheels. I ordered 22 x 10 with 6" back space and 20 x 8.5 with 5.75 back space. I'm waiting on the wheels to set it on the ground. I'm ready to lengthen the torque tube and I should have the bed sides made by friday.

Please elaborate on how you plane to length the torque tube. This has always bin of interest to me.

Lengthen the torque tube
 
Well The torque tube is actually a tube with a drive shaft in it with no U joints. I cut the tube into 2 pieces in my big band saw then I chucked each end up in the lathe to cut the welded tube out of the ends. then i went to my steel supply house and ordered 8 ft of 5" 3/13 wall aluminum which is the same size as the old tube. Then I will mock up the pieces in the car to get a true length then bolt everything in the car and square the pieces and slowly weld the ends to the tube. Then I will send out the driveshaft to be lengthened.

I got the brakes
 
Well I got a call From Wilwood this morning and the brakes are a go, they made me a sweet deal. I got the 14" ones with the red calipers. They are all drilled and sloted and all that good stuff. I got 6 piston fronts and 4 piston rear. They should be here in about 3-4 weeks.
