Don't forget, that steering box is new.

Just so everyone knows........Donnie is at Frame-up Wheelworks and did a lot of work on this car for the previous owner........High Quality Shop !!!!

Thinking about a 4 link in back with coil-overs.................

I think you said something along the lines of --- the brakes have been upgraded so they're good...

You're going to put in a 500+ HP motor -- and my '56 Nomad weighed 4,000 pounds....

I know you don't drive like a couple of other idiots you call friends

.... but think about following Charlie - and we're cruising up the road (no speeds mentioned here) and he puts on the binders in one of his super cars.... His stopping distance will be FAR FAR shorter than yours.... so even if you had adequate distance off his back bumper... Well, just sayin'.

Ken beautiful car, Nomads are on of my favorite cars and this is a beautiful one. At least there is plenty of room to package everything needed under the hood.

Man you move fast!

I started my fuel upgrade project about the same time you started this thread...

I just got my Corvette running again this week - but that fuel project snow balled into a clutch replacement, speed bleeder install, rear main cover and gaskets, and new input bearing!

Good work Ken!
