    It.s first snow in 12 years. bought it as a rollling chasis with drv/trn, pushed it in garage and never touched it till Sept of this year. Dodge ram keases was up decided to put it together for a dd. Was kinda pressed for time with vacations, boating, and 12 hr days at work. Lease went back Nov 11.Made it with 1 week to spare only working weekends. Rebuilt mtr,all new brake llines m/c and hrdwr.Tires shocks, 4wd glass body, and no time for paint except primer.After driving to store I miss my 66 F134. This things got way too much motor. 1" of snow and gotta use 4x, or it goes nowhere. It's a blast on dry ground or offrd though. still need some brake work, can't seem to get all the air out. And fresh air for heater needs to be put in (cut hole in cowl). New seat stead of the 72 firebird fronts that are in it, and rhino or Durabak inside next spring. Oh yeah new needle brngs on 1st and 2nd, water in trans for 12 yrs (forgot/didn't think to drain trans). Shifts ok, just kinda noisy in 1 and 2.
    Wrong place For this? Sorry!

    Nice...Any before and during pics?

    And the 304 isn't too much engine. Just gotta learn to drive it with the power it has. I've got a 360 in mine now, and would love to try a 401 someday...

    No, didn't think of it at the time. Only got bef and aft of the 66 I did a few yrs ago. Kept the wndsld frame and top when i sold it,guy was just gonna bash the woods with it and didn't want them. Sorry, digital pics of film pics. It was black lacquer. Too bad you're not closer. I know where ones at (401).
