    Nice project!

    It looks to me like somebody's just bought a new project. I wish my 76 would have looked that good when I first got it. Now lets see. It looks like your changing the rear to a 9 inch, switching to disk brakes at leased up front, and doing some general maintenance. I'll take a guess and say that your getting ready to throw some more horse power at her. Hence the new rear end.
    How'd I do?:clap:

    Well...let's see....

    ....Once upon a time...you went 4-wheeling in the moutains of West Virginia...and discovered a Green Grabber hiding in your garage when you returned.

    ...You decided to rebuild the carburetor....and then misplaced the air breather somewhere in the garage...so then you moved on to rebuilding the rear-end...but couldn't find your torque wrench....

    ...It started getting cold...so you decided to go set by the heater and read your latest copy of Summit Racing Equipment catalog....meanwhile...your table had no room for work, with all the stickers laying around....so you stuck them all on the air compressor. :rofl2:

    From the looks of those four wheelers, I would venture to guess "wash it" is not one of the available options! :cool:

    was gonna try and hook up a srt/4 turbo that i have laying around ...

    gonna try and see if i can make the stock 250 carb a blow through ...

    yes i know it is not likely ...

    but will be a fun time killer while trying to figure out how to come up with a junker 302 mav for all the parts needed for the windsor swap ...
