Oh man, don't lighten up now Roger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Put a set of 4.11's in the back with a spool, some big sticky Goodyears and go play with the kids on Saturday Night!........Then put the 3.70's with the posi back in when someone tells you to act your age!!!!!!!

Old story and probably told you.....Had the Nash 5 speed, (2.64 low) 6.00's on a spool and 10.5 X 29.5 Hoosier DOT slicks, and one of Scott's 408 Windsor's in a Maverick that was my Saturday Night Special for a few years-------Absolutely the most fun you could ever hope to have in a car (clothes on, that is)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you've taken some of my suggestions Rog, it outta turn out killer.
Another suggestion,get your color for the body picked out, then your interior
color. Match your wheels to the interior color and Bingo ! Clean, simple and SWEEEEEEEEEEET.

Windshield and top ordered !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6's w/ a 2.64 is a 15.84 mechanical advantage out of the hole!! That first gear must have been done in about 75 feet!! The 3.06 and 3.7's is 11.3 which is pretty deep for the street!

Funny you should mention the colors, Don. I was at the paint store yesterday afternoon picking up some black & clear for the loose frame parts, fanning out color chips and talking to the two young artist's in the back about complimentary colors for wheels. I'd like to get the wheels painted in the next couple of weeks so that once the frame's sorted out I can get it sitting on rubber. The black top is going to look great with black frame, dark body, black top. Now for interior that adds some pop without looking funky....

Oh, and the six little words that are so often found to be false when strung together, '...the check's in the mail!!!'

Can/t go wrong with a worn saddle look roger, in either black, dark blue, dark green etc

.....or with the right medium dark blue on the body maybe a dark charcoal gray in the cockpit. I foresee another hour or two at the paint shop with the color chips

If you're going for dark blue and trying for some nostalgia vibe I'd suggest oxblood for the interior and wheels. Grey is too street roddy......................release your mind...........
