Something like "Famous Dave's BBQ" (for big block quartermiler) That ought to confuse 'em!
Think I'd have to retain the radiused wheel wells, just wouldn't be right without them... Definitely a new front suspension and steering setup, and a big incher from Pat would do fine!!!

I guess the ideal situation would be to gather a ton of pics from the era and use them for planning purposes, I remember the old Bill Thomas swap kits to put a BBC in a Tri-Five complete with fenderwell headers!!! Maybe a chrome straight ax and a nice, tight cross steer setup wouldn't be too out of place on the car????

I'd really like to build the car as a 60's gasser, but do it for a customer using his money so it doesn't wind up in my continuously growing line up of projects I never seem to get to!!!!!!
